The summer transfer window is shaping up to be exceptionally dynamic for Paris Saint-Germain, with significant activity anticipated for both incoming and outgoing players. Among those poised to depart the capital club is Kang-In Lee, the South Korean international. He is widely expected to make his way to Atlético de Madrid, a move that could see its official announcement made during the midst of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The transfer market is certainly buzzing around Paris Saint-Germain. On the arrivals front, the Parisian giants appear close to securing deals for Yan Diomandé, Maghnes Akliouche, and Alessandro Longoni. However, departures are also gaining momentum. Following Gonçalo Ramos, who is reportedly set to join AC Milan, Kang-In Lee is also preparing to move on. The 25-year-old midfielder believes it is time for a fresh challenge and is heavily linked with a switch to Atlético de Madrid. Intriguingly, his transfer could be formally announced as the 2026 World Cup unfolds.
Kang-In Lee’s move to Atlético de Madrid nearing official status?
The latest indications suggest that Kang-In Lee is on the verge of being unveiled as Atlético de Madrid’s newest acquisition in the coming days. The global tournament in America, the World Cup, is believed to be influencing the official announcement schedule for the Colchoneros. It is conceivable that the Rojiblancos might choose to reveal the PSG offensive midfielder’s transfer once South Korea’s campaign concludes, potentially after an early exit from the group stage.
PSG seeks around €35M for Kang-In Lee’s transfer
Kang-In Lee has reportedly already reached a personal agreement with Atlético de Madrid. All that remains is for a consensus to be struck with PSG to finalize the deal. The Parisian club is reportedly seeking a transfer fee in the range of €30M to €35M for the South Korean international. This valuation is not expected to pose a significant obstacle for the Liga outfit, who appear poised to secure Kang-In Lee’s arrival very soon. The situation remains fluid.
