Antoine Griezmann will leave Atlético Madrid at the end of the season, and already, the Madrid club's executives are moving fast to find a worthy successor. The name gaining momentum is Kang-in Lee, the attacking midfielder from Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG sets its conditions

Skilful, mobile, and able to operate between the lines, Kang-in Lee fits the profile Atlético is seeking to replace Griezmann’s creativity and influence. The player already knows La Liga, which makes him even more attractive in the eyes of the Colchoneros’ management.

Under contract with Paris Saint-Germain, Kang-in Lee won’t come cheap. The Parisian club is reportedly expecting around €40 million to even consider letting him go. With his playing time sometimes limited this season, his future could quickly become a hot topic in the upcoming transfer window. Kang-in Lee now stands out as one of the leading candidates to take over the creative reins up front.
