Transfer news – Atlético Madrid target Lee Kang-In, decision made

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 took some time to adapt and establish himself, but eventually managed to rise to prominence. This hasn’t stopped rumors of a departure, notably with interest from Atlético Madrid this winter. Today, L’Equipe assures that things are clear.

“The idea would rather be to extend his contract”

As the transfer window closes at 8 p.m., Lee has been the subject of strong interest from Atlético Madrid this winter. It seems that the circumstances are no longer quite the same as last summer, when he was questioning the continuation of his Parisian adventure. He declined. And in any case, it was unthinkable for the Parisian club to let him go at this point in the year. The idea would rather be to extend his contract, which expires on June 30, 2028.”

Nothing is impossible, but we always remain cautious with rumors. There have been suggestions in recent weeks that Lee wanted to leave, without any confirmation. Today, it seems rather that this was never the case. This is credible, since Lee has never shown any desire to leave. The Korean has actually made progress at PSG in recent months and is becoming more important in the squad. It’s an interesting moment; it would be a shame to leave now.

Moreover, the club probably doesn’t particularly want to let him go, and an extension would make sense. Still, it’s not a done deal either. Football and the transfer market can move very quickly. We are waiting for concrete developments before having any certainties.
