Juventus join race to sign PSG’s Lee Kang-in | OneFootball

Lee Kang-in (25) looks set to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer. There has been long-standing interest from Atletico Madrid, however, as per a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the La Liga side may face competition from Juventus. 

Atletico Madrid’s interest dates back to last summer. At the time, however, PSG were keen to retain the South Korea international. After another season of playing a back-up role at the Parc des Princes, Lee now wants to play a bigger part. It is unlikely that he will do so at PSG and so an exit is likely. The reigning European champions are already actively scouting for a replacement. He may come in the form of AS Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche. 

Lee’s destination, however, is uncertain. Atletico Madrid are ready to spend €25m on the former RCD Mallorca forward, La Gazzetta dello Sport understands. However, Juventus, who have faced difficulties in their pursuit of Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz, could also make their move.
