What happened: Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have agreed to a transfer for 25-year-old midfielder Lee Kang-in. The deal is reportedly worth over €40 million, including bonuses, ending his two-year stint in the French capital.

Why it matters: Lee remained a rotation option under Luis Enrique despite contributing to consecutive UEFA Champions League titles for PSG. A move to Atletico offers the South Korean international an opportunity for a more consistent starting role in La Liga, a league he knows well from his time at Valencia.

By the numbers: Lee made 39 appearances across all competitions for PSG last season, but registered just 18 starts in Ligue 1 and zero in the Champions League. Over his tenure in Paris, he tallied 16 goals and 16 assists in 124 total appearances.

What to watch: The transfer will be finalized pending a medical and official contract signature.
