Transfer news – Lee Kang-In to Atlético Madrid, fee revealed

Having arrived in the summer transfer window in July 2023 from Mallorca, Lee Kang-In, the 25-year-old Korean midfielder/winger, is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028. More of a backup in recent months, he has been the subject of rumors in recent weeks, notably with interest from Atlético Madrid. But there has also been talk of a contract extension. Today, several journalists and media outlets claim that it is almost done. The figures have also been mentioned.

KANG IN LEE. New Atlético Madrid player. The Korean signs for 5 seasons until June 30, 2031. PSG and Atlético Madrid have reached an agreement to complete the transfer for €35m fixed + €5m in bonuses. Deal done. Kang In, second signing of 2026-2027.

Mundo Deportivo:

The 25-year-old PSG player has been on Atlético Madrid’s radar for years. This summer, the two clubs could finally join forces, with the Parisian club having opened talks over the South Korean. Paris was ready to let the Asian player leave, despite his excellent performances during the World Cup group stage, but only for an offer around €35 million. Atlético has been working for some time to lower that amount, even if it will not be able to make major concessions. There is optimism, and an announcement should not be long in coming.

Abdellah Boulma:

Comme attendu, Kang-In Lee se dirige vers l’Atlético de Madrid. Le club espagnol va débourser environ 40 M€ bonus compris pour s’attacher ses services, trois ans après son arrivée au PSG en provenance de Majorque pour 22 M€. Contrat de cinq ans. 🇰🇷 #PSG

There is not much doubt left with so many reports coming out in such a short time and all pointing in the same direction. The transfer seems almost complete, with a fee between €35 million and €40 million. The gap likely comes down to bonuses. These are not just minor details, though, and negotiations are still needed to finalize an agreement. That can sometimes take a lot of time, with the possibility of a deadlock.

Even so, that would be a real surprise given how advanced the talks seem to be between PSG and Atlético Madrid. We can hope for an official announcement soon. Even if we will only be certain once it is officially announced.
