Sincerely signing ATM Lee Kang-in, offering 29 billion won more than buyout to beat Tottenham
Spain’s Atletico Madrid is serious about signing ‘Golden Boy’ Lee Kang-in (22, Mallorca). In order to win the recruiting competition with other teams, they are trying to bring Lee Kang-in even with a higher price.
On the 8th (Korean time), Spain’s Todo Pichajes said, “Atletico is keeping an eye on Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in, who is shining in Mallorca.” I am thinking of the euro (about 29 billion won).” Atletico was connected with Lee Kang-in last winter as well. Lee Kang-in also wanted a new challenge, but it did not come true due to strong opposition from Mallorca. Nevertheless, Atletico once again rolled up their sleeves to recruit Lee Kang-in.
The transfer fee of 20 million euros that Atletico is preparing is a high amount. According to Transfer Markt, which specializes in the transfer market, Lee Kang-in’s ransom is more expensive than 15 million euros (about 22 billion won), and it is more than the 17 million euros (about 25 billion won) known as Lee Kang-in’s buyout amount. The reason Atlético is trying to recruit Lee Kang-in, even if it means paying more money, is to outsmart competitors. England’s Tottenham, Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Brighton and Hove Albion also showed interest. Atletico is trying to snatch Lee Kang-in before the scouting battle intensifies. The media emphasized, “Atletico is trying to confirm their entry into the European Champions League before making a squad plan for next season. Lee Kang-in is one of the main recruitment options.”
Football España also paid attention to the amount part on the 7th, saying, “Atletico is ready to pay the buyout amount of Lee Kang-in.” The media also predicted that Atletico would offer 20 million euros, more than the buyout. Amid stormy love calls from Premier League teams such as Tottenham, Atletico wants to win by quickly completing the signing of Lee Kang-in. It is a business that has nothing to lose greatly from Mallorca’s point of view. Even if Lee Kang-in’s stock price is soaring rapidly, he will be able to earn transfer fees because he was recruited without a transfer fee in 2021. The contract period of Lee Kang-in is also until 2025. If you skip the summer transfer market, you may end up selling Lee Kang-in without getting the full price. As Lee Kang-in’s contract period gets shorter, Mallorca becomes more impatient. Spain’s AS also explained, “Lee Kang-in’s contract period is until 2025카지노사이트, but this season will be the last season to play in Mallorca uniform.”
Atletico, one of the three leaders of La Liga along with Real Madrid and Barcelona, is facing a major change. Joao Felix, the team’s famous star, was pushed out of the starting position due to sluggish performance and rumors of a disagreement with manager Diego Simeone, and left for a loan transfer to Chelsea (England) last January. With no outright transfer option included, Felix will return to Atlético this summer, but a breakup is more likely given the circumstances so far. Local media have long predicted that Atlético will gladly let Felix go if the transfer fee is right. Another striker, Tomar Lema, was also embroiled in transfer rumors. Most likely to leave the team. Atletico seems to be trying to reorganize the attacking team by recruiting Lee Kang-in.

He played in 32 league games this season and recorded 6 goals and 4 assists, raising his career high record by raising double-digit attack points. In the last 10 games, they scored 4 goals, and 4 of them received the highest rating from Whoscored.com, a European football statistics website.
