Atletico Madrid have signed South Korean World Cup star Lee Kang-In from PSG | Football News

Lee Kang-In has switched to Atletico after helping Paris Saint-Germain to back-to-back Champions League titles.

South Korean midfielder Lee Kang-In has agreed to join Atletico Madrid from Spanish club Paris Saint-Germain.

Atletico said on Saturday the player will sign a contract until June 2031. The transfer fee has not been disclosed, but is believed to be between 35 and 40 million euros ($39.8m and $45.5m).

Lee, 25, played in all three of the group stage matches at the World Cup, as South Korea failed to advance after two defeats.

Born in Incheon, Lee moved to Spain at the age of 10 to join Valencia’s academy and ended up playing 62 games for the club. After a long spell with Mallorca, he joined PSG in 2023, scoring 16 goals in 124 games.

They will now play for an Atletico team that finished fourth in La Liga and reached the final of the Copa del Rey last season. Lee will help fill the void left by Antoine Griezmann, who has moved to MLS as Atletico’s top scorer.
