27 Mar
Summary
- Atlético Madrid targets Lee Kang-in from PSG.
- Lee Kang-in contract with PSG runs until 2028.
- Other players considered are Panichelli and Fernandez-Pardo.
Atlético Madrid has identified Lee Kang-in as a prime transfer target for the upcoming summer window. The South Korean international, currently under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2028, is highly valued by Atlético's management, who envision him filling the void left by Antoine Griezmann. Acquiring the dynamic midfielder, however, is anticipated to be a difficult negotiation.
Lee Kang-in has established himself as a crucial component of Luis Enrique's squad. As of the current date, he has participated in 32 matches across all competitions for PSG, recording seven decisive moments through three goals and four assists. His performances have underscored his importance to the Parisian club.
In their pursuit of new talent, Atlético is also evaluating other options within Ligue 1. Joaquín Panichelli of RC Strasbourg Alsace and Matias Fernandez-Pardo from Lille OSC are being considered. These players offer different profiles, broadening Atlético's strategic options.
Additionally, Mason Greenwood has been discussed internally as a potential acquisition. Nevertheless, the English player's past off-pitch controversies pose a significant impediment to any prospective transfer, presenting a complex challenge for the club's recruitment efforts.
