Atletico must now decide whether to meet PSG’s valuation and accelerate negotiations for Kang-in. Securing the South Korea international would represent a significant addition to Simeone’s squad ahead of the new season.
However, any move is likely to take place after the World Cup, as Kang-in is currently focused on his country in North America. After securing a 2-1 victory over Czechia in their Group A opener, Taeguk Warriors will now face Mexico at the Estadio Guadalajara on June 19.
