Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in has joined the Spanish club Atletico Madrid, leaving the French giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) after three mixed seasons.
Atletico Madrid announced on its website Saturday that Lee, 25, signed a five-year contract that will keep him with the La Liga side until June 2031.
The attacking midfielder, who can also operate on either wing, began his club career in Spain with Valencia CF as a teenager. He also had a spell with RCD Mallorca before taking his talent to France three years ago.
Lee struggled to earn consistent playing time with PSG this past season and will now move back to a country where he spent his formative years.
