The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is making significant moves in the transfer market this summer. Reports indicate the club is nearing the completion of a high-profile deal involving South Korean midfielder Lee Kang-In, who appears set to join Atlético Madrid for a reported fee of around €40 million, including potential bonuses.
This potential transfer comes as PSG continues to reshape its squad, with several players deemed surplus to requirements now leaving the club. One notable exit was Gonçalo Ramos, who secured a move to AC Milan in a deal worth €74 million, excluding potential add-ons. The departure of Ramos has paved the way for a new financial injection, with Lee Kang-In’s sale expected to boost the club’s coffers further.
Atlético Madrid’s ambitious plans for Lee Kang-In
Atlético Madrid has been vocal about its ambition to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season. Club president Enrique Cerezo recently addressed the media, though he remained deliberately vague about the pending arrival of Lee Kang-In. “We are actively working to bring in key players, and we are succeeding,” he stated. “We have enough talent to field 10 or 12 players who could start in a World Cup final. We are delighted with our team—we are the world champions.” His comments reflect the club’s confidence in its current setup while hinting at strategic reinforcements.
Maghnes Akliouche: The next PSG signing?
In anticipation of Lee Kang-In’s departure, PSG is already preparing to fill the void. According to insider reports, Maghnes Akliouche is on the verge of finalizing a move to the French capital. The young international has secured a release clause, and with AS Monaco eager to offload him, the deal appears imminent. PSG’s technical staff are reportedly keen to integrate Akliouche into the squad, particularly after the conclusion of the FIFA World Cup, where the French national team will compete in the third-place playoff against England. Once the tournament concludes, the transfer is expected to be officially announced, marking the beginning of a new chapter for both the player and the club.
