After a relatively quiet transfer window last season, Paris Saint-Germain is gearing up for a busier summer. The club is expected to see significant movement both in incoming and outgoing transfers. One player whose future is drawing particular attention is midfielder Kang-In Lee.
Lee’s future in Paris under scrutiny
Since joining PSG in 2023, Kang-In Lee has found himself outside the first-choice lineup despite delivering solid performances. Now, at 25 years old, the South Korean international appears set to leave the French capital. Atlético Madrid has emerged as the most persistent suitor, with reports suggesting the Spanish club remains eager to secure his services.
The Spanish outfit is well-acquainted with Lee’s abilities, given his prior experience in La Liga with Mallorca. This familiarity makes him an attractive target for a club aiming to bolster its midfield depth.
Atlético Madrid’s pursuit gains momentum
A recent update from a Spanish sports journalist indicates that Atlético Madrid is actively pursuing two key transfer targets. While negotiations with Sporting CP for midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojlund remain a priority, the club has not abandoned its interest in Lee. Despite being under contract at PSG until 2028, the player’s departure appears increasingly likely.
World Cup disappointment fuels transfer talk
Kang-In Lee suffered a setback when South Korea was eliminated in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. Though his international performance dipped, the midfielder has had time to reconsider his club future. Atlético Madrid would need to present a compelling offer to acquire the player, with his estimated market value currently standing at €28 million, according to Transfermarkt.
