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 until June 2028. Having served largely as a backup in recent months, he is expected to sign with Atlético Madrid in the coming hours. Journalists Fabrizio Romano and Fabrice Hawkins have confirmed an agreement worth approximately €40 million.

Kang-in Lee is set to sign with Atlético Madrid. PSG has just reached an agreement with the Spanish club for a transfer fee slightly above €40 million, including bonuses.
With confirmation from generally reliable journalists, it appears the transfer is effectively a done deal. It represents a solid sale for PSG, given he was originally purchased for €22 million. Lee is a very talented player, though he never quite managed to achieve consistent form. We hope he finds his stride at Atlético Madrid, an excellent club where he could achieve great things.
As for PSG, the focus now shifts to who might arrive, following the recent departure of Gonçalo Ramos (a 25-year-old striker) to AC Milan. Maghnes Akliouche (24, AS Monaco/Ivory Coast) and Yan Diomande (19, RB Leipzig/Ivory Coast) are the attacking players most frequently linked with the club.
