PSG transfer: Kang-In Lee to Atlético Madrid could accelerate after South Korea’s World Cup exit

Paris Saint-Germain is heading into a lively transfer window, both for arrivals and departures. The Parisian club is preparing to part ways with Kang-In Lee. The 25-year-old is set to join Atlético Madrid. This deal could gain momentum now that South Korea has been eliminated from the 2026 World Cup.

PSG’s transfer activity is heating up. The club is working on deals for Yan Diomandé and Maghnes Akliouche, but several players are also heading for the exit. Kang-In Lee believes he is ready for a new challenge away from the Red and Blues. The 25-year-old attacking midfielder hopes to find more regular playing time and is now moving toward Atlético Madrid.

World Cup 2026 elimination could speed up Kang-In Lee’s move

The Colchoneros are reportedly optimistic about signing the South Korean international. They have already reached an agreement with Kang-In Lee on personal terms, and discussions with PSG are progressing in a positive atmosphere. If all goes well, the transfer should be completed for around €30 million. South Korea’s elimination from the 2026 World Cup could accelerate the process, as Kang-In Lee will be freed from international duties and can launch the transfer process.
