El Atlético lleva tiempo interesado en Kang-in Lee, y aún más desde que Mateu Alemany se incorporó al club. Ya en enero se pensó en él, y los contactos continuaron en los meses siguientes, tanto como posible sustituto de Antoine Griezmann como independientemente de una posible salida del francés. Bernardo Silva era una gran oportunidad en el mercado, pero el traspaso se frustró justo antes de la firma, porque el Real Madrid de Mourinho se interpuso con fuerza y decisión. Ahora Kang-in vuelve a ser un objetivo prioritario, aunque en realidad siempre lo ha sido: los contactos entre las partes nunca han cesado, y el jugador quiere dejar el París Saint-Germain y volver a España. La negociación entre el Atlético y el París no será fácil.

🚨#AtleticoMadrid Atlético Madrid are negotiating with PSG for Kang‑in Lee. 💰 A fee around €30M is being discussed; the player is willing to lower his salary. 📌 PSG blocked a move last winter but are now ready to let him go. 👀 Luis Enrique understands Lee’s desire for more minutes and will not oppose his departure.
