Having arrived from Mallorca during the summer transfer window in July 2023, Lee Kang-In, a 25-year-old South Korean midfielder/winger, is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028. Having been more of a backup player in recent months, he has attracted the attention of transfer rumors in recent weeks, notably with interest from Atlético Madrid. There has also been talk of a contract extension. Today, journalist Fabrizio Romano supports the idea of a move to the Spanish club.

“🚨👋 It looks like Lee Kang-In is definitely heading towards a move to Atlético de Madrid!
🤝 As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Atlético de Madrid has finalized an agreement with the South Korean international!
👀 The player has also received offers from Premier League clubs, but he is very keen on joining Atlético de Madrid.
👥 Atlético Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are working towards an agreement.

Doubts are diminishing with each confirmation, especially when it comes from a generally reliable journalist. However, it’s not a done deal yet. An agreement between the two clubs hasn’t been announced, but it’s essential and could be difficult. So, we’re remaining cautious.
Nevertheless, seeing Lee sign for Atlético Madrid is a real possibility. It makes sense for both parties, with another player expected to stay in Paris. Numerous options have been mentioned; we’re still waiting for confirmation.
