Juventus and Atletico Madrid vie for PSG’s Lee Kang-in
South Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in, 25, appears set to depart Paris Saint-Germain this summer after a season as a back‑up at the Parc des Princes. Juventus and Atletico Madrid have entered the race, with the Spanish club reportedly prepared to spend €25 million for the former RCD Mallorca forward.
Atletico Madrid’s interest dates back to last summer, when PSG were keen to retain the South Korea international. The La dello Sport report notes that the Spanish side may now face competition from Juventus.
Juventus, who have struggled to secure Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz, are also reportedly preparing a bid for Lee. Their pursuit adds another layer to the transfer market as the reigning European champions scout for a replacement.
The reigning European champions are already actively scouting for a replacement, with AS Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche mentioned as a possible incoming player. Akliouche, a former RCD Mallorca forward, could fill the creative midfield role left by Lee.
Lee’s own desire for a bigger part in the team makes an exit from PSG unlikely to be delayed. With limited playing time at the Parc des Princes, his move appears imminent, though his final destination remains uncertain.
The report, authored by Luke Entwistle for GFFN, highlights the competing interests and financial figures shaping the potential transfer. No further clubs have been confirmed as suitors beyond Juventus and Atletico Madrid.
