Having arrived from Mallorca during the summer transfer window in July 2023, 24-year-old South Korean midfielder/winger Lee Kang-in is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028. He has shown promise but is struggling to fully establish himself, and there is talk of a move this transfer window. Today, AS reports that Atlético Madrid intends to take advantage of the situation.
“All parties involved would welcome this transfer.”
Mateu Alemany was in Paris yesterday to attend the PSG-Lille match and accelerate negotiations regarding Atlético Madrid’s top attacking target this winter: South Korean Kang-in Lee. The winger, capable of playing in several positions, is Alemany’s number one target, and he knows him well.
The relationship between Atlético and PSG is excellent, and Alemany is exploring all possibilities to bring the forward to the Metropolitano. All parties involved would welcome this transfer.
The Madrid club is also considering a loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
We remain very cautious. There have been numerous rumors surrounding Lee for the past year, without any confirmation. He isn’t a regular starter in big European matches, so he’s a bit of an easy target for the media. Perhaps some clubs are genuinely trying their luck, but we haven’t seen anything concrete.
We can’t rule out discussions with Atlético Madrid, a club with a strong case. However, we urge great caution. Especially since Lee had become more important to the team before his injury. A departure this winter would be quite a surprise.
