World cup 2026 exit fuels kang-in lee’s psg departure

Paris Saint-Germain is bracing for a highly dynamic period in the transfer market over the coming weeks. As the capital club finalizes the exit of Gonçalo Ramos, the potential departure of Kang-In Lee is also gaining significant momentum. This particular transfer saga reportedly received a fresh impetus following South Korea’s elimination from the 2026 World Cup.

The upcoming transfer window promises considerable activity for PSG. While the club aims to bolster Luis Enrique‘s squad, several current players are also expected to move on. Gonçalo Ramos appears close to joining AC Milan, and Kang-In Lee could soon be packing his bags. The 25-year-old midfielder is a prime target for Atlético de Madrid, and his transfer is anticipated to pick up pace in the very near future.

Reports indicate that the pursuit of Kang-In Lee could reach a conclusion as early as next week. His immediate future was largely contingent on South Korea‘s progression in the 2026 World Cup. Despite hopes of advancing as one of the best third-placed teams, the South Koreans ultimately faced elimination. This turn of events is expected to prompt Atlético de Madrid to intensify their efforts to secure Lee. His profile is said to be highly admired by Mateu Alemany, with some drawing comparisons between his qualities and those of Antoine Griezmann.

Sources suggest that PSG has no intention of holding the player against his will. Kang-In Lee is reportedly determined to join the Colchoneros, believing he can secure a more prominent role there compared to his current situation with the Rouge-et-Bleu. Parisian officials are reportedly seeking between €30 million and €35 million to sanction the departure of the South Korean international. All eyes will be on how this saga unfolds.
