Psg looks to replace Kang-In Lee with Yan Diomandé ahead of summer transfer window

Paris Saint-Germain are preparing for a significant reshuffle in their squad as the summer transfer window approaches. After securing an agreement with AC Milan for the departure of Gonçalo Ramos, the club is now set to part ways with midfielder Kang-In Lee. The South Korean international is on the verge of finalizing a move to Atlético Madrid, leaving PSG in need of a high-profile replacement.

Paris Saint-Germain targets rising Ivorian talent

The club’s management, led by sporting director Luis Campos and head coach Luis Enrique, has already identified the ideal candidate to fill Lee’s position: 19-year-old Yan Diomandé. Currently plying his trade at RB Leipzig, the Ivorian defender has emerged as one of Europe’s most promising young players. While Liverpool has also been monitoring his progress, PSG appears determined to secure his services before the transfer window closes.

According to insiders, the potential deal for Kang-In Lee could fetch PSG up to €35 million, providing the financial flexibility needed to fund Diomandé’s transfer. Luis Enrique has openly expressed his admiration for the young defender’s technical abilities and physical presence, making him a top priority for the Parisian side.

A young star focused on the present

Meanwhile, Yan Diomandé remains fully committed to his current responsibilities with the Côte d’Ivoire national team, currently competing in the World Cup. When asked about his future plans beyond the tournament, he remained evasive, stating: “No, I don’t know what will happen next. I’m not thinking about my future after the World Cup. My focus is entirely on the competition, and I’ll deal with what comes after once it’s over.”
