Summary
- Lee Kang-in turned down a massive $85 million Saudi offer.
- The midfielder is nearing a €35 million transfer to Atletico Madrid.
- A Saudi club offered him $17 million net per season for five years.

Lee Kang-in is reportedly close to finalizing a move from PSG to Atletico Madrid, signing a five-year contract. The transfer fee is estimated to be around €35 million plus €5 million in bonuses. This decision comes after the South Korean international rejected a substantial offer from a Saudi Arabian club, which would have paid him €17 million net per season for five years, totaling €85 million.

Meanwhile, another PSG player, Emmanuel Mbemba, is set to leave the club for Paris FC, despite previous links to AS Monaco.
