Lee Kang-In, a 25-year-old Korean midfielder/winger who joined Paris Saint-Germain from Mallorca in the summer of 2023, is under contract with the club until June 2028. Having largely served as a backup in recent months, he has recently been the subject of transfer rumors, notably involving interest from Atlético Madrid. Today, Mundo Deportivo reports that the Spanish club is moving forward with the transfer, citing a potential fee.
“Negotiations are progressing favorably”
Atlético Madrid has recently reached an agreement with South Korean player Lee Kang-In regarding a transfer that would run until June 2031.
Negotiations are progressing well, thanks to the positive relationship between Atlético’s management and PSG’s representatives. A mix of caution and optimism prevails at the Madrid club. It is generally estimated that the deal could be finalized for around €35 million, including bonuses and associated costs.
We remain cautious until there is official confirmation, especially given how quickly the media can get carried away. However, several sources are reporting the same story, suggesting there is genuine reason to hope for progress. It is time for Lee to seek a starting role—something he has been unable to secure at PSG. For its part, PSG will likely have a plan to replace the Korean player, aiming to bring in someone who can make a greater impact.
