Transfer news – Atlético Madrid ready to sign Lee Kang-In!

Arriving in the summer transfer window in July 2023 from Mallorca, Lee Kang-In, the 24-year-old Korean midfielder/winger, is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028. He has achieved some great things, but is struggling to fully establish himself, and the idea of a departure during this transfer window has emerged. Today, AS reports that Atlético Madrid is looking to take advantage of the situation.

“All parties involved would welcome this transfer.”

Mateu Alemany was in Paris yesterday to attend the PSG-Lille match and to speed up negotiations regarding Atlético Madrid’s top attacking priority this winter: the South Korean Kang-in Lee. The winger, who can play in several positions, is Alemany’s number one target, whom he knows well. Relations between Atlético and PSG are excellent, and Alemany is exploring all possibilities to bring the attacker to the Metropolitano. All parties involved would welcome this transfer. The Madrid club is also considering a loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.”

We remain very cautious, as there have been many rumors surrounding Lee over the past year without any confirmation. He is not a regular starter in major European matches, so he is an easy target for the media. Perhaps some clubs are genuinely trying their luck, but we have seen nothing concrete.

We cannot rule out discussions with Atlético Madrid, a club with strong arguments. However, we urge great caution. Especially since Lee had gained importance in the team before his injury. A departure this winter would be quite a surprise.
