Atletico Madrid is reportedly making a surprising move in the transfer market, with the Spanish club setting its sights on Paris Saint-Germain's creative midfielder, Lee Kang-in.
The South Korean international has emerged as a key target for Atletico, who are keen to inject more flair and playmaking ability into their squad.
Lee, who has previously plied his trade in La Liga with both Valencia and Mallorca, is said to be receptive to the idea of a return to Spanish football.
PSG has reportedly placed a valuation of €35 million on the 25-year-old, a figure that Atletico Madrid is understood to be willing to consider.
Atletico's manager, Diego Simeone, is a known admirer of Lee's skillset, particularly his versatility and technical prowess. Simeone believes Lee could significantly enhance the creativity within Atletico's midfield.
The Parisians, who originally signed Lee for approximately €20 million three years ago, are open to offers that would allow them to make a profit on the transfer. They are already proactively seeking potential replacements, with Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche reportedly being a primary candidate.
Lee's position at PSG has been a subject of speculation, with his limited starts in crucial matches fueling rumors of a potential departure back to La Liga.
Any potential transfer is anticipated to be concluded following the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup, where Lee is currently representing his national team, South Korea.
