Psg transfer news: Kang-In Lee move to Atletico Madrid could accelerate after South Korea’s World Cup exit

The next few weeks promise to be eventful for Paris Saint-Germain in the transfer market. While the club is finalising Gonçalo Ramos’s departure, Kang-In Lee’s exit could also speed up. The situation has been reignited by South Korea’s elimination from the 2026 World Cup.

The transfer window is set to be turbulent for PSG in the coming weeks. Although the Parisian club hopes to recruit players to rejuvenate Luis Enrique‘s squad, several players may also be on their way out. Gonçalo Ramos is close to joining AC Milan, and Kang-In Lee is expected to pack his bags shortly after. The 25-year-old is wanted by Atletico Madrid, and his transfer could speed up in the next few hours.

The race to sign Kang-In Lee could reach its conclusion as early as next week. His future largely depended on South Korea‘s run in this 2026 World Cup. The South Koreans hoped to advance as one of the best third-placed teams but were ultimately eliminated. Atletico Madrid is now expected to step up its pursuit of Kang-In Lee. His profile is said to appeal strongly to Mateu Alemany. His qualities are also reminiscent of Antoine Griezmann, who departed for Orlando City in MLS.

PSG will not block his departure
