The Paris Saint-Germain transfer window is heating up, with both incoming and outgoing deals under intense scrutiny. One of the most closely watched departures involves midfielder Kang-In Lee, 25, who appears poised to leave the club and join Atlético Madrid. This potential shift could gain momentum following South Korea’s early exit from the 2026 World Cup.
The French capital club is also actively pursuing other targets, including Yan Diomandé and Maghnes Akliouche, while simultaneously preparing for key departures. Kang-In Lee’s situation reflects a growing trend among players seeking more consistent playing time. The South Korean international has expressed his readiness to embrace a new professional challenge away from the Parc des Princes, with Atlético Madrid emerging as his preferred destination.
World Cup exit could unlock Kang-In Lee’s transfer
South Korea’s unexpected elimination from the 2026 World Cup could serve as a pivotal moment in Kang-In Lee’s transfer saga. With his international commitments temporarily on hold, the 25-year-old could expedite the process of finalizing his move to Atlético Madrid. Reports suggest that an agreement in principle has already been reached on contract terms, with discussions between the two clubs progressing smoothly. A deal valued at around €30 million now appears increasingly likely.
Atlético Madrid eyes Kang-In Lee to fill Griezmann’s void
Atlético Madrid has identified Kang-In Lee as a promising replacement for Antoine Griezmann, who recently joined Orlando City in MLS. The Spanish side values the PSG player’s youth, technical ability, and prior experience in La Liga. Lee’s arrival would not only bolster Atlético’s attacking options but also align with the club’s long-term vision. As the transfer saga unfolds, all eyes remain on whether the two clubs can finalize the agreement in the coming weeks.
