Atletico Madrid is reigniting its interest in PSG midfielder Kang-In Lee as the summer transfer window approaches. After a successful season with Paris Saint-Germain, discussions around potential player movements are gaining momentum.
Background on Kang-In Lee
Kang-In Lee, now 25 years old, joined PSG after an impressive tenure with RCD Mallorca. His transition marked a high point in his career, yet he has recently fallen out of favor at the French club.
Performance Overview
During the 2025/2026 season, Lee appeared in 43 matches, scoring five goals and providing four assists. However, these figures mark a decline from his previous performance, leaving him seeking more opportunities on the field.
Atletico Madrid’s Continued Interest
- Atletico Madrid has been tracking Lee since 2023.
- The club previously attempted to secure his transfer but had other priorities at that time.
- Lee’s role at PSG has diminished, as evidenced by his absence from the starting lineup and lack of playing time in the Champions League final.
Impact on Merchandise and Fan Base
Lee’s presence at PSG significantly boosted merchandise sales, particularly among fans in South Korea. Atletico Madrid stands to benefit similarly by attracting a new audience of South Korean supporters.
The Future for Kang-In Lee
As rumors of Lee’s potential transfer circulate, both Atletico Madrid’s CEO, Miguel Angel Gil Marin, and the club’s soccer director have expressed a keen interest in acquiring him. Lee’s familiarity with Spanish culture and language makes a move back to Spain more feasible.
A Mutual Interest
Kang-In Lee has openly stated that he admires Atletico Madrid, which could facilitate his transition to the club. With PSG’s changing dynamics, a new chapter may soon unfold for the talented midfielder.
