After a relatively quiet transfer window last summer, Paris Saint-Germain is gearing up for a busier period ahead. The club is expected to see both departures and arrivals in the coming weeks, with one name repeatedly linked to a move: Kang-In Lee.
The 25-year-old South Korean midfielder, who joined PSG in 2023, has yet to establish himself as a key player under Luis Enrique, despite delivering strong performances when given the chance. Over recent weeks, speculation about his future has intensified, with Atlético Madrid emerging as the most persistent suitor. The Spanish side has not abandoned its interest in the player, who is already familiar with LaLiga after his time at Mallorca.
Atlético Madrid keeps Kang-In Lee on its radar
According to reports from Spanish media circles, Atlético Madrid is actively pursuing two potential signings. While the club continues negotiations for Hjulmand from Sporting CP, its attention remains firmly on Kang-In Lee. The South Korean, whose contract with PSG runs until 2028, appears increasingly likely to leave the French capital.
South Korea’s World Cup setback may influence Kang-In Lee’s club future
Having been part of South Korea’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Kang-In Lee experienced the disappointment of an early group-stage exit. While this setback may have momentarily shifted his focus, it has also provided space for him to consider his next career move. To secure his services, Atlético Madrid will need to present an offer strong enough to meet the estimated valuation of €28 million, as reported by Transfermarkt.
