Lee Kang-in's transfer to Atlético Madrid reportedly imminent

South Korean football star Lee Kang-in appears to be on the verge of a significant move to Spain's Atlético Madrid. Spanish sports outlet Marca reported on July 23 that the transfer is in its final negotiation stages between his current club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Atlético Madrid.

Sources indicate that Atlético Madrid could officially announce Lee's signing as early as this week. The midfielder has been a subject of transfer speculation since last season, with rumors intensifying after South Korea's early exit from the World Cup. Details regarding the transfer fee have also surfaced, with reports suggesting Atlético Madrid is prepared to pay 40 million euros (approximately 67.5 billion South Korean won) for the player.

Lee Kang-in's contract with Atlético Madrid is reportedly set to extend until 2031. Following the World Cup, he returned to South Korea to rest with his family and has reportedly completed his medical examinations. The potential transfer marks a new chapter for the 25-year-old player, who has been a key figure for both club and country.
