Kang-in Lee is close to agreeing personal terms with Atletico Madrid, but PSG still need the Spanish club to follow up with formal transfer talks. The South Korea international has been linked with a return to La Liga for several weeks, and the latest update puts the player-side discussions much further along than the club-to-club part of the deal.
The 25-year-old has remained an important squad option for Luis Enrique, yet he has not fully locked down a place in PSG’s strongest XI. That is the tension behind the move: Atletico can offer a clearer role, while PSG must decide what fee makes sense for a versatile attacker still under contract and still useful across the front line.
Atletico still need PSG agreement
Fabrizio Romano has reported that talks are well underway on Lee’s side and that an agreement on personal terms is getting closer, according to PSG Talk’s report on the transfer update.
The key point for PSG supporters is that this is not yet a completed transfer. Atletico must now approach Paris Saint-Germain with terms the French champions are prepared to accept, and that fee conversation will decide whether Lee’s exit gathers real pace.
If the move progresses, it would be one of PSG’s more notable squad exits of the summer: not a first-choice starter leaving, but a technically gifted player whose departure would still leave Luis Enrique needing depth and flexibility in attack.
