South Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in is reportedly on the verge of a transfer to Spanish club Atlético Madrid. Reports indicate that an agreement has been reached between all parties involved, with a transfer fee estimated at around 70 billion Korean won (approximately $50 million USD).

Lee Kang-in, who currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), has been a key player for the French club since his move from Mallorca in 2023. His performances have attracted attention from several European clubs, but Atlético Madrid appears to have secured his signature.

The transfer, if finalized, would represent a significant move for the 23-year-old playmaker, who has become a vital member of the South Korean national team. His addition to Diego Simeone's Atlético Madrid squad could provide a significant boost to their midfield.

Further details regarding the contract and the official announcement are expected soon, as the transfer window progresses.
