Kang-in lee’s potential move to atletico madrid gains momentum

The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to experience a dynamic summer transfer window, with both departures and arrivals expected. Among the players whose futures are uncertain, Kang-In Lee‘s situation has taken a notable turn. Rumors of his potential move to Atlético Madrid have been circulating for weeks, and recent reports suggest these talks are progressing.

Joining PSG in 2023, Kang-In Lee has struggled to secure a regular spot in Luis Enrique‘s starting lineup, despite delivering solid performances. The 25-year-old South Korean midfielder has been linked with several clubs, but Atlético Madrid remains the most persistent suitor. Spanish sources indicate the club has not abandoned its pursuit of the former Mallorca player, who is already familiar with LaLiga’s competitive landscape.

Atlético Madrid’s renewed interest in Kang-In Lee

Insiders close to the negotiations reveal that Atlético Madrid is actively pursuing two key targets this summer. Alongside their efforts to sign Sporting CP‘s captain Hjulmand, the Madrid-based club continues to explore the possibility of bringing in Kang-In Lee. The South Korean star’s contract with PSG runs until 2028, but a potential transfer seems increasingly plausible.

Will Kang-In Lee leave PSG before the 2026 World Cup?

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon, Kang-In Lee was unable to help South Korea advance past the group stage. While this setback may have momentarily shifted his focus, it also provides an opportunity to reassess his club future. To secure his services, Atlético Madrid would need to table a competitive bid—reportedly valued at around €28 million by Transfermarkt—for the creative midfielder.
