The summer transfer window appears set for significant activity at Paris Saint-Germain, encompassing both new arrivals and departures. Among those expected to depart is Kang-In Lee, the South Korean international. His likely destination is Atlético de Madrid, and the official announcement of his transfer could potentially occur during the 2026 World Cup.

The transfer market is certainly heating up for the PSG. While the Parisian club seems close to securing talents like Yan Diomandé, Maghnes Akliouche, and Alessandro Longoni, movement is also accelerating on the outgoing front. Following Gonçalo Ramos‘s anticipated move to the AC Milan, Kang-In Lee is also poised to seek new horizons. The 25-year-old midfielder reportedly feels it’s time for a fresh challenge, with Atlético de Madrid emerging as his probable next club. The confirmation of this transfer might even coincide with the 2026 World Cup.

Is Kang-In Lee’s Atlético Madrid move imminent?

Word from Spain suggests that Kang-In Lee is expected to be unveiled as Atlético de Madrid‘s newest acquisition in the coming days. The timing of official announcements from the Colchoneros appears to be influenced by the upcoming global tournament in North America. It is conceivable that the Rojiblancos could choose to reveal the PSG offensive midfielder’s transfer following South Korea‘s potential early exit from the group stage.

PSG targets approximately €35M for Lee’s transfer

Kang-In Lee reportedly has already reached a personal agreement with Atlético de Madrid. The final hurdle remains securing an accord with PSG to finalize the deal. According to Spanish press reports, the Parisian giants are looking for a transfer fee between €30M and €35M for the South Korean international. Such an amount is unlikely to pose a significant challenge for the Liga club, which could very well seal Kang-In Lee‘s arrival in the near future. Developments are keenly awaited.
