Atlético Madrid Seeks to Complete the Signing of Lee Kang-in in the Winter Market
Sunday 18-01-2026
Atlético Madrid is actively seeking to secure the signing of South Korean player Lee Kang-in during the current winter transfer window, in a move aimed at strengthening the squad with a standout player capable of making a difference, according to the website "Fichajes."

The source explained that the club's management views the timing of the deal as a strategic opportunity, as the player's situation at Paris Saint-Germain aligns with the team's needs. They are keen on enhancing quality rather than quantity, in line with coach Diego Simeone's philosophy. Lee Kang-in stands out as an ideal option to strengthen the attacking winger position, having demonstrated his ability to play both inside and make runs from the flanks with great tactical flexibility.

The website pointed out that the player is seeking more playing time and active participation, which motivates him to look for a new challenge outside the French league. Meanwhile, the presence of Matteo Almati, the club's executive officer, facilitates communication and negotiations due to his prior familiarity with the player.

The source also confirmed that Atlético Madrid considers the deal a priority this winter, with the possibility of leveraging the player's desire to move in order to secure the transfer before market conditions change, either through a loan with an option to buy or a permanent transfer at a reasonable cost.

These moves come as part of Atlético Madrid's plan to strengthen the team's attacking capabilities while maintaining the squad's balance and continuing to compete domestically and in Europe this season, taking advantage of the ideal opportunity presented by Lee Kang-in's current situation at Paris Saint-Germain.
