Kang-in lee’s psg exit accelerated by south korea’s world cup 2026 elimination
The upcoming weeks promise significant activity in the transfer market for Paris Saint-Germain. While the Parisian club nears finalizing Gonçalo Ramos’s departure, the situation surrounding Kang-In Lee could also rapidly evolve. His potential move appears to have gained momentum following South Korea’s exit from the 2026 World Cup.

The transfer window is poised for considerable movement at the PSG in the coming weeks. As the capital club aims to strengthen its squad for Luis Enrique, several players might also be heading for the exit. Gonçalo Ramos is reportedly close to joining AC Milan, and Kang-In Lee could soon follow suit. The 25-year-old midfielder is a target for Atlético de Madrid, and his transfer could well accelerate in the very near future.
World Cup 2026 exit propels Kang-In Lee’s transfer
Reports indicate that the pursuit of Kang-In Lee‘s signature could conclude as early as next week. His future largely hinged on South Korea‘s performance in the 2026 World Cup. The South Koreans had hoped to advance to the next round as one of the best third-placed teams but ultimately faced elimination. This turn of events is expected to prompt Atlético de Madrid to intensify their efforts for Kang-In Lee. His playing style reportedly impresses Mateu Alemany, with some even drawing parallels to Antoine Griezmann, who now plays for Orlando City in MLS.
PSG unlikely to impede his departure
Spanish outlets suggest that PSG will not stand in his way if he wishes to leave. Kang-In Lee is reportedly keen on joining the Colchoneros, believing he would secure a more prominent role there than with the Rouge-et-Bleu. However, Parisian management is said to be seeking between €30 million and €35 million to sanction the South Korean international’s departure. The situation remains fluid.
