South Korean international Lee Kang-In is reportedly set to transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Atletico Madrid. According to AFP, the French champions will receive a transfer fee of 40 million euros for the 25-year-old forward. Slovakian national team defender Dávid Hancko also plays for Atletico.

Lee Kang-In joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2023 from RCD Mallorca. During his tenure with PSG, he netted 16 goals, secured three French titles, and twice lifted the Champions League trophy with the club.

However, following the arrival of coach Luis Enrique, he lost his regular starting spot. In January, he sustained a thigh injury but managed to recover in time for the start of the 2026 World Cup, where the Korean team failed to advance from the group stage.
