Atletico Madrid is aiming for Lee Kang-in, but it is not likely to be realized.
Spain's Marca said on the 14th (Korea time) 'Atletico is already satisfied with seven players this summer. However, general manager Carlos Busce said he could start recruiting more players before the closing of the transfer window with 17 days left, analyzing what kind of players Atlético wants.
The media 'Nico González's name is mentioned again in this process. The Juventus winger has been on the candidate list all summer and has been on the list with names that have been difficult to access so far, including Kubo Takefusa and Lee Kang-in. 'The two Asian players need a non-European player registration position, but if there is a position due to the transfer of Nauel Molina or Conor Gallagher, it will be possible,' Atletico reported that Lee Kang-in is watching.
It has been a long time since Atletico have been interested in Lee Kang-in. As Lee Kang-in's potential gradually exploded in Mallorca, Atletico was the first club to recruit. At that time, Atlético was not sure about recruiting Lee Kang-in, and in the meantime, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) appeared and took Lee Kang-in. Even after going to PSG, Atletico is constantly watching Lee Kang-in.
Marca said 'However, the deputy tax chief is still under consideration only at the scenario stage. Nico is impossible to trade with Molina due to the player's depreciation issue, as Juventus signed him on a full transfer this summer. It is more difficult to recruit Kubo. After the departure of Martin Subimendi, the captain, Kubo remained at the core of Real Sociedad, and the buyout was 60 million euros (about 97.3 billion won), explaining that Nico and Kubo are targets with high difficulty in recruiting.
Continuing 'Nevertheless, Kubo can consider Atletico an attractive destination for a career leap, and thanks to good relationships with Antoine Griezmann in favourable terms in a move to Le Normand, Kubo has never been removed from the list of deputy directors. There is also Lee Kang-in's name at the bottom of the list. However, high salaries and a contract with PSG, which runs through 2028, make the transfer difficult to realize, it added.
From Atletico's point of view, it is true that Lee Kang-in is also a player who cannot be easily recruited. However, in terms of transfer fees, Lee Kang-in is much cheaper than Kubo. Lee Kang-in's transfer fee, which is currently being discussed, is about 30 million euros (about 48.6 billion won), which is half of Kubo's. It's not a transfer fee that Atletico can't spend if they decide.
Meanwhile, Lee Kang-in is also attracting attention from Premier League (EPL) clubs. France's RMC Sport after UEFA Super Cup match 'Lee Kang-in is likely to leave if he has a good offer. In particular, some clubs in England consulted on his situation.
