According to the latest report by journalist Moretto in Marca, Lee Kang-in has been cleared to sign with Atletico Madrid, and the deal will be officially announced tomorrow.
It is reported that although it took longer than Atletico Madrid expected, Lee Kang-in has finally been cleared to sign a five-year contract with the club. Although an agreement was reached between the two parties weeks ago, some details delayed his move to Atletico Madrid. Now, he is finally going to Madrid, and the official announcement is expected to be released this Thursday.
It is worth noting that Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain finalized the transfer weeks ago, with a fixed transfer fee of 35 million euros, plus a 5 million euro floating clause. Lee Kang-in also accepted Atletico Madrid's offer to play until at least 2031. However, everything is still pending signature, which is expected to be completed in the next few hours.
In this sense, although Atletico Madrid had hoped that Lee Kang-in could participate in training in San Rafael last Friday, due to Paris Saint-Germain's delay in releasing him, the deadline had to be postponed. The exact date is still uncertain, but he is expected to sign on Wednesday, and the transfer news will be officially announced on Thursday.
Similarly, it is also believed that he will be able to train under Simeone's guidance this week, and he can start training as soon as he arrives in Madrid. He had already passed the medical examination in Seoul last week. To shorten his arrival time, Dr. Villalón went to South Korea to conduct the medical examination for him. Therefore, in addition to the official debut, Lee Kang-in will be able to wear the Atletico Madrid jersey and participate in two pre-season friendly matches next week.
