Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Lee Kang-in (25) are all in agreement.

Spain's 'As' reported on the 22nd (Korean time) that "Atletico, PSG, and Lee Kang-in all wish to reach a transfer agreement."

The media stated, "Lee Kang-in is under contract with PSG until 2028. PSG acquired Lee Kang-in from Mallorca in 2023 for 22 million euros (38.6 billion won)." It added, "While the current transfer value of Lee Kang-in is assessed at 28 million euros (49.1 billion won) by the transfer specialist media 'Transfermarkt,' PSG is demanding a transfer fee of at least 35 million euros (61.4 billion won). In contrast, Atletico hopes to lower the base transfer fee and include options."

It further added, "Although there is a difference in opinion on the transfer fee between the two clubs, they are preparing negotiations while understanding and acknowledging each other's financial situations."

It was reported that when Atletico recently targeted Bernardo Silva, who transferred to Real Madrid, Lee Kang-in was the top priority for acquisition. Both Diego Simeone, the manager, and Mateu Alemany, the director, actively support the acquisition of Lee Kang-in.

Alemany, who has been watching Lee Kang-in since his Valencia days, led the acquisition efforts during the January winter transfer market. However, PSG, which was aiming for the UEFA Champions League (UCL) title at the time, firmly rejected the transfer due to concerns about a loss in team strength.

Atletico, after failing to acquire Alayes Garcia (Bayer Leverkusen) around the same period, sequentially brought in striker Ademola Lookman, midfielder Rodrigo Mendoza, and Obed Vargas.

Director Alemany has been closely monitoring Lee Kang-in as a long-term alternative to Antoine Griezmann, even visiting Paris, France, in January. The media reported, "Atletico is proceeding with the acquisition cautiously, concerned about interference from other clubs in the acquisition process. Atletico's Korean tour, which is being promoted this summer following the 2023 tour, is also a positive stimulus for the transfer. The club considers Lee Kang-in's participation an attractive element to boost the tour's popularity."

It further predicted, "Lee Kang-in, who is currently participating in the North, Central America and Caribbean World Cup, could see his value skyrocket depending on his performance in the tournament, but since all three parties have a firm will to transfer, reaching an agreement is expected to be no major issue."
