Overview
- Atlético and Paris Saint‑Germain confirmed the agreement on Saturday, July 25, and Lee has signed a contract that runs to June 30, 2031.
- Most outlets report the fee at about €40 million while some South Korean sources say it is €35 million up front plus €5 million in add‑ons.
- Atlético has presented Lee as a key summer acquisition and reports indicate he will wear the club’s number 7 as he joins preseason preparations.
- Lee arrives after three trophy-filled seasons at PSG but with limited starts under Luis Enrique and a thigh injury in January, factors that contributed to his desire for a bigger role.
- The signing is Atlético’s third confirmed addition of the window following Morten Hjulmand and Alejandro Grimaldo and ranks among the highest transfer fees ever paid for a South Korean player, which may raise expectations for his on-field impact and for Atlético’s tactical options.
