Kangin Lee, a 25-year-old midfielder, is now a new player for Atlético de Madrid. The red and white club has completed his transfer from PSG, and the South Korean international has signed a contract until June 30, 2031, an addition formalized after finalizing the procedures between both entities. 

The signing represents one of the most significant moves of the market for Diego Simeone's team. Although Atlético de Madrid has not made the operation amount public, various information published during the negotiations placed the cost at around €40 million, between a fixed amount and variables. 

Kangin Lee reinforces the attack after Griezmann's departure

The arrival of Kangin Lee comes in response to Atlético de Madrid's need to incorporate offensive talent following Griezmann's departure, one of the team's references in recent seasons. The South Korean player can perform as an attacking midfielder, winger on either side, or an interior with the freedom to join the attack. 

Lee lands in Madrid after spending three seasons at PSG, where he played 124 matches, scored 16 goals, and provided 16 assists. During that period, he won two Champions Leagues, three Ligue 1 titles, two French Cups, two Super Cups, and other international trophies, expanding a résumé that caught the attention of the red and white club. 

The South Korean international also arrives after recently participating in the World Cup and has accumulated 50 caps with the South Korean national team. Before making the leap to French football, he developed much of his career in Spain, first at Valencia and later at Mallorca, an experience that facilitates his adaptation to LaLiga. 

Kangin Lee's journey between LaLiga and PSG

Trained in Valencia's youth academy from 10 years old, Lee made his debut with the first team in 2018 and played 62 matches before moving to Mallorca in 2021. With the Balearic team, he racked up 73 games in two seasons, a performance that opened the doors to PSG in the summer of 2023. 

In Paris, he alternated between starting roles and rotational duty, although he maintained a presence in both national and international competitions. His experience at a team accustomed to competing for the Champions League title has been one of the factors valued by Atlético de Madrid's sporting direction. 

Kangin Lee's next step at Atlético de Madrid

With the contract signed until 2031, Kangin Lee will start the preseason under Diego Simeone's leadership and will seek to secure a place in the team's offensive structure. His addition will also allow Atlético de Madrid to fill the void left by Griezmann, albeit with a different profile, while the club continues to work on the other planned moves for this summer market.
