World Cup exit accelerates Kang-In Lee’s €30m transfer from PSG to Atlético

Listen now2 min

Paris Saint-Germain is preparing for a dynamic transfer window, with both new arrivals and significant departures expected. Among those set to leave the capital club is Kang-In Lee. The 25-year-old midfielder appears poised for a move to Atlético de Madrid, a deal that could now rapidly advance following South Korea’s elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The transfer market for PSG is currently buzzing with activity. While the Parisian club pursues talents like Yan Diomandé and Maghnes Akliouche, several players are simultaneously nearing exits. This includes Kang-In Lee, who feels ready for a fresh challenge away from the Rouge-et-Bleu. The 25-year-old attacking midfielder is seeking more consistent playing time and seems destined for Atlético de Madrid.

The 2026 World Cup poised to accelerate Kang-In Lee’s transfer

The Colchoneros are reportedly confident regarding the South Korean international’s signing. Personal terms have already been agreed upon with Kang-In Lee, and discussions with PSG are progressing positively. If negotiations continue smoothly, the transfer is expected to finalize around €30M. South Korea’s recent elimination from the 2026 World Cup could significantly expedite the process, as Kang-In Lee will now be free from international duties, enabling him to promptly initiate the final steps of his transfer.

Will Kang-In Lee fill Antoine Griezmann’s void at Atlético de Madrid?

Atlético de Madrid values the PSG player for his youth, inherent qualities, and prior experience in La Liga. For his part, Kang-In Lee is expected to arrive with the ambition of becoming an undisputed starter for the Rojiblancos, potentially stepping into the role vacated by Antoine Griezmann, who has moved to Orlando City in the MLS. This developing situation warrants close observation.
