PSG sets price tag for Kang-In as Atletico circles in winter window
Paris Saint-Germain has named a price for its South Korean winger Lee Kang-In, with Atletico Madrid pursuing a winter move.
Atletico's pursuit and Enrique's hesitation
Spanish outlet Marca reports Lee is a primary target to strengthen Atletico's attack, with PSG valuing him between 40 and 50 million euros, as the club weighs stability against a potential sale.
Atlético's sporting director Matteo Alimani traveled to Paris to open talks about bringing the Mallorca and Valencia product to the Wanda Metropolitano.
The money isn't the only obstacle. Lee isn't a regular starter yet, but he features regularly as a substitute, and Luis Enrique isn't eager to lose him in January.
Winter window dynamics and loan speculation
France reports also suggest PSG may resist a loan move, preferring a permanent solution in the winter window, with summer negotiations still likely to shape the saga.
Meanwhile, Atletico expects to push hard, tapping into Korea's rising football market while PSG keeps a tight grip on their asset.
