My Perspective
In my perspective, this is a solid move from Argentinian coach Diego Simeone, buying a experienced player like Kang Lee and spending 35 million euro is a miracle.
Instead of using Lemar as a substitute for Alex Baena and Almada, Kang Lee will serve the depth option for Atletico Madrid and have a small possibility standing out and becoming a crucial player.
In the future, we may Kang Lee as a superstar in Atletico Madrid surpassing Alex Baena’s and Almada’s performance however, Lee will serve as a rotation player when he steps in the door.
