The ۲۵-year-old Lee played all three group-stage games at the World Cup, where South Korea failed to advance after losing twice.
Born in Incheon, Lee moved to Spain when he was ۱۰ to join Valencia’s training academy and ended up playing ۶۲ games for the club. After a stint with Mallorca, he joined PSG in ۲۰۲۳, scoring ۱۶ goals in ۱۲۴ appearances.
He will now play for an Atletico side that finished La Liga in fourth place and reached the Copa del Rey final last season. Lee will help fill the creative void left by Antoine Griezmann, who has left for the MLS as Atletico’s all-time top scorer.
