The transfer market surrounding Lee Kang-in (25) of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is hot. As European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano officially mentioned the possibility of Lee Kang-in's transfer, rumors of his return to Atletico Madrid in Spain as well as the possibility of entering the English Premier League (EPL) surfaced at the same time.

Fabrizio Romano, who is familiar with the European soccer transfer market, said on his YouTube channel on the 6th (Korea time), "One of the players Atletico Madrid should keep an eye on is Lee Kang-in. He is currently in a special situation within PSG.

Romano continued, "Atletico Madrid is actively moving to recruit Lee Kang-in. Some Premier League clubs are even keeping an eye on him on the recruitment list," he added.

In particular, Romano is famous as a reporter who leaves the phrase "HERE WE GO" when the player's transfer is certain.

Local media such as "Planete PSG" and "PSG Talk" also heavily addressed Lee Kang-in's transfer rumors, citing Romano's reports. In particular, "Planete 'PSG' said, "Lee Kang-in is not a built-in main player under Luis Enrique, but he plays a very important role as a rotation resource for the team," adding, "However, PSG leaders are considering Lee Kang-in's transfer."

In fact, Spain's prestigious Atletico is known to be serious about recruiting Lee Kang-in. The departure of legendary offensive resource Antoine Griezmann was fatal. Griezmann recently confirmed his move to Orlando City in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS). Orlando has already announced on its official website that it has recruited Griezmann, a world-renowned soccer icon and winner of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

According to the club, Griezmann signed a deal with Orlando from July 2026 to 2027-2028 and included a one-year extension option. In other words, the era of legend, who scored 211 goals in 792 games in Atletico alone, is over.

As the ace's departure is confirmed, Atletico's operation to recruit Lee Kang-in is expected to be more urgent. "Lee Kang-in has fully adapted to the La Liga stage through Valencia and Mallorca in the past," Spanish media 'Pichahes' said. This is a decisive factor for Atletico, which needs immediate power reinforcement after Griezmann's departure, he analyzed.

In addition, the media said, "Lee Kang-in is the best card to show fantastic teamwork with Julián Álvarez," adding that the team's leadership is deeply trusting his talent.

Lee Kang-in's transfer fee is currently expected to be between at least 30 million euros (about 52 billion won) and up to 50 million euros (about 86.7 billion won). According to influential local newspapers such as "Marca," PSG is keeping the possibility of selling if an appropriate offer comes. The Atletico recruitment department, led by general manager Matteu Alemani, has already been working hard for a long time to try to recruit in the winter transfer market in January.

This season, Lee Kang-in has proven his overwhelming class even during his short playing time. Thanks to the remarkable performance, not only Atletico but also Premier League clubs with their financial power are expected to join the recruitment campaign, and the ransom is expected to soar further.

Lee Kang-in is currently playing a key role in the team's rotation system under Enrique, but he is reportedly open to returning to La Liga or going to the Premier League for the first time in his career, which can guarantee more time to play.
