Paris Saint-Germain facing busy transfer window as Kang-In Lee move nears after World Cup 2026 setback

Paris Saint-Germain is set for a highly eventful transfer period in the coming weeks. While the capital club is finalising Gonçalo Ramos’s departure, Kang-In Lee’s exit could also speed up. The situation has been reignited by South Korea’s elimination from the 2026 World Cup.

The transfer window promises to be busy for PSG in the weeks ahead. Although the Parisian side hopes to bring in fresh talent to rejuvenate Luis Enrique‘s squad, several players could also head out. Gonçalo Ramos is reportedly close to joining AC Milan, with Kang-In Lee expected to follow soon after. The 25-year-old is a target for Atlético de Madrid, and his move could gain momentum in the coming hours.

World Cup 2026 exit accelerates Kang-In Lee transfer

The race for Kang-In Lee‘s signature could conclude as early as next week. His future largely hinged on South Korea‘s performance in this 2026 World Cup. The South Koreans hoped to advance as one of the best third-placed teams, but were ultimately eliminated. Atlético de Madrid is now expected to step up its pursuit of Kang-In Lee. His profile is said to be highly appreciated by Mateu Alemany, with his playing style reminiscent of Antoine Griezmann, who moved to Orlando City in MLS.

PSG will not stand in Kang-In Lee’s way

PSG is not expected to block his departure. Kang-In Lee is determined to join the Colchoneros, where he believes he can secure a more prominent role than at the Rouge-et-Bleu. However, Parisian officials are reportedly asking for between €30 and €35 million to sanction the move of the South Korean international. The situation is developing.
