Official – Lee Kang-in leaves PSG for Atlético Madrid | OneFootball

Lee Kang-In, a 25-year-old midfielder/forward from South Korea who joined Paris Saint-Germain from Mallorca in 2023, never quite managed to fully establish himself. There were some strong performances, but never the consistency needed to truly confirm his place. He is ultimately leaving in this 2026 transfer window, with his move to Atlético Madrid officially announced today.

Lee always showed great determination on and off the pitch, and it is almost regrettable that he did not manage to take the step forward that had been hoped for in Paris. But his spell was not a failure either. The Korean had important moments, and it is clear that becoming a regular starter in this PSG side was especially difficult.

All we can do is thank him for his professionalism and wish him all the best at a club where he should have a bit more room. As a reminder, the transfer is reported in the media to be worth around €40 million (bonuses included), a fee that seems quite satisfactory considering he arrived for €22 million.
