World cup 2026 exit accelerates kang-in lee’s psg departure
Paris Saint-Germain is bracing for a highly active period in the transfer market over the coming weeks. As the Parisian club nears finalising the exit of Gonçalo Ramos, the potential departure of Kang-In Lee could also gain significant momentum. This particular transfer saga appears to have been reignited by South Korea’s elimination from the 2026 World Cup.
The upcoming transfer window promises to be eventful for PSG. While the capital club aims to bolster its squad to rejuvenate Luis Enrique‘s roster, several players might also be heading for the exit. Gonçalo Ramos is reportedly close to joining AC Milan, and Kang-In Lee is expected to follow suit. The 25-year-old midfielder is a target for Atlético de Madrid, and his move could potentially accelerate in the very near future.
World Cup 2026 exit to hasten Kang-In Lee’s transfer
The pursuit of Kang-In Lee‘s signature might conclude as early as next week. His future largely hinged on South Korea‘s performance in the 2026 World Cup. The South Koreans had hoped to advance to the next round by qualifying as one of the best third-placed teams, but their campaign ultimately ended in elimination. Consequently, Atlético de Madrid is now poised to intensify its efforts to sign Kang-In Lee. His playing profile is reportedly highly regarded by Mateu Alemany. Furthermore, his attributes are said to draw comparisons to Antoine Griezmann, who now plays for Orlando City in the MLS.
PSG unlikely to impede his departure
It is understood that PSG will not stand in his way if he wishes to leave. Kang-In Lee is reportedly determined to join the Colchoneros, believing he can secure a more prominent role there than with the Rouge-et-Bleu. However, Parisian management is expected to demand a transfer fee of between €30M and €35M for the South Korean international. The situation remains fluid and warrants close observation.
