Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Atletico Madrid are “advancing” in their attempts to sign Kang-in Lee from PSG, with an agreement over a transfer fee looking close after personal terms were agreed “days ago”.
South Korea’s elimination from the World Cup will free up the former Valencia man to accelerate a deal even further.
Atletico Madrid close to Lee transfer fee agreement
This deal has looked inevitable for a while now. Lee is a really useful squad player for Luis Enrique and plays a lot, but he’s accepted he’s not going to crack the first Xi and wants to play somewhere where he’s a star player.
A return to Spain where he played for many years makes sense, and it’s easy to see him becoming a favourite for Diego Simeone.
There had been some late interest from Juventus, but if anything that seems to have just pushed Atletico to secure a deal rather than provided a major obstacle for the Spanish side.
PSG, meanwhile, are working on potential replacements for Lee…
