Major media reports indicate that Atlético Madrid has positioned Kang-In Lee at the top of its list of potential reinforcements for the next transfer period. This interest is explained by the club's desire to protect itself against the announced departure of Antoine Griezmann, who has been an offensive pillar of Atlético Madrid for several seasons. Griezmann's signing by an MLS franchise, Orlando City, is seriously considered for this summer.
Atlético Madrid's directors had already sounded out Paris Saint-Germain about Kang-In Lee during the winter transfer window, without finalization, and now plan to restart discussions in the coming weeks. Kang-In Lee, who is 25 years old and under contract with PSG until 2028, has recorded three goals in twenty-eight appearances in all competitions this season. His future in the French capital is not totally assured, though PSG wishes to extend his contract.
Atlético Madrid's evident interest could influence the situation regarding Kang-In Lee's future, as his technical and creative profile corresponds to the type of player the club is looking for to compensate for the possible absence of Griezmann. It remains unknown whether Atlético Madrid will make a formal offer for Kang-In Lee or if PSG will agree to sell or extend his contract. The transfer fee or terms involved in any potential deal for Kang-In Lee have not been disclosed.
