The Paris Saint-Germain appears set for a flurry of activity as the summer transfer window approaches, with both departures and arrivals on the horizon. Among the players whose futures hang in the balance, midfielder Kang-In Lee remains a focal point of speculation, with Atlético Madrid emerging as a prime destination.
Since joining PSG in 2023, the 25-year-old South Korean has found himself outside Luis Enrique’s first-choice lineup despite delivering strong performances. His situation has sparked renewed interest from Spanish clubs, with Atlético Madrid reportedly maintaining serious interest in securing his services. The Spanish side, well-versed in the player’s capabilities from his time at Mallorca, sees him as a viable option to bolster their midfield.
Atlético Madrid’s persistent pursuit of Kang-In Lee
Insider reports suggest Atlético Madrid is actively pursuing two key transfer targets, with Kang-In Lee remaining a priority. While negotiations for Hjulmand from Sporting CP are also underway, the Madrid-based club has not abandoned its pursuit of the South Korean international. Though Kang-In Lee’s contract at PSG runs until 2028, his potential exit seems increasingly likely as the transfer window heats up.
Kang-In Lee’s future hangs in the balance
With South Korea’s elimination from the 2026 World Cup in the group stage, Kang-In Lee has time to focus on his club future. Atlético Madrid would need to present a competitive offer to land the attacking midfielder, whose current estimated market value stands at €28 million according to Transfermarkt.
