The attention of Spain's prestigious club toward Lee Kang-in (25, Paris Saint-Germain) is unusual. Both France and Spain's leading newspapers acknowledged Atletico Madrid's attempt to recruit Lee Kang-in.

Spanish media "Marca" reported on the 17th (Korea Standard Time) that "Atletico are interested in Lee Kang-in who wants more time to play," and "Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) reaffirmed its position on Lee Kang-in."

The media then said, "Atletico wants to recruit Lee Kang-in. However, it is unclear whether PSG is willing to send Lee Kang-in, he said. "Lee Kang-in is not a clear starting player in Enrique's system, but he is steadily playing an important role in the team. He said, "I've been impressive several times since the beginning of the season."

Manager Diego Simeone, who has led Atletico since 2011, marked the spot. "Coach Simeone emphasized the need to recruit Lee Kang-in in the winter transfer market," Marca said. "Atletico Director Matteu Alemani, who has watched Lee Kang-in since childhood, moved. We have already inquired about renting or complete transfer to Paris," he said.

PSG is serious about protecting Lee Kang-in. On the same day, France's leading newspaper L'Equipe said, "PSG is still negative about the possibility of Lee Kang-in's transfer," adding, "PSG coach Luis Enrique directly denied the rumor of Lee Kang-in's transfer. I will trust him and use him," he pointed out.

Atletico were found to have watched Lee Kang-in for a long time. "Atletico offered to transfer Lee Kang-in, a former Valencia Youth player, even before signing with PSG," L'Equipe said.

Rumors of a transfer in the past have also been re-examined. "Even last summer, PSG did not allow Lee Kang-in to transfer, saying he was a key player in the team," the media said. "PSG's position remains unchanged. Coach Enrique also stressed that he does not want Lee Kang-in to leave PSG.

In addition, "L'Equipe" said, "Lee Kang-in and PSG have two years left to sign a contract," suggesting, "PSG may start negotiating re-signing in the next few weeks."

Lee Kang-in has recently suffered a thigh injury and is absent. He was replaced by an injury in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup Final Flamengo match on the 18th of last month, and failed to play in the Trope de Champion (France Super Cup) match against Marseille on the 9th. Paris FC and Coupe de France were also absent on the 13th.

Earlier this season, Lee Kang-in also proved his class against Spain's prestigious team. In the UEFA Champions League (UCL) showdown with FC Barcelona in October, he was replaced in the 35th minute of the second half and hit the post with a sharp left-footed shot. In addition, he scored a wonder goal in the UEFA Super Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur, making a brilliant contribution to PSG's thrilling recapture of the Super Cup.
