PSG eyes Yan Diomandé to replace departing Kang-In Lee

The summer transfer window is heating up for PSG. After reaching a deal with AC Milan for the sale of Gonçalo Ramos, the Parisian club is now preparing for the departure of Kang-In Lee. The South Korean international is reportedly on his way to Atlético de Madrid, prompting Luis Campos and Luis Enrique to focus on a single top-tier replacement: the 19-year-old Yan Diomandé.

Paris Saint-Germain is set to be a major player in this summer’s market. However, the initial priority for the club’s leadership appears to be trimming the current squad. Recent developments confirm a substantial agreement between Paris and AC Milan for the transfer of Gonçalo Ramos. Alongside the Portuguese forward, Kang-In Lee is also expected to exit the capital shortly, with Atlético de Madrid emerging as his most likely destination.

Luis Enrique and Luis Campos target Yan Diomandé

While the sale of Kang-In Lee could potentially net PSG around €35 million, the club has already identified the ideal candidate to take over his role. The Parisian side is looking to secure the signing of Yan Diomandé to replace the departing number 19. Also a target for Liverpool, the Côte d’Ivoire international is considered one of the most promising talents in world football. Luis Campos is expected to lead the pursuit of the RB Leipzig star, who is highly regarded by coach Luis Enrique.

Focus remains on the World Cup for Yan Diomandé

Currently competing in the World Cup with Côte d’Ivoire, Yan Diomandé has addressed the speculation surrounding his future. The young player made it clear that his focus is entirely on his national team’s performance. He explained that he is not currently thinking about his next steps and is concentrating all his energy on the tournament, noting that he cannot provide any further details until the competition concludes.
