▲ Lee Kang-in delivering his joining greeting
Lee Kang-in, who has joined the Spanish professional football club Atletico Madrid in La Liga, delivered his first greeting to fans in fluent Spanish.
Lee shared his thoughts on joining the club through Atletico Madrid's social media channels on July 26 (Korean time).
Having started his life in Spain when he joined Valencia's youth academy in July 2011 at the age of 10, Lee made his La Liga debut wearing the Valencia jersey in January 2019. He later left the Spanish stage in July 2023 to transfer to the French Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
With his move to the Atletico Madrid jersey on July 25, he has returned to La Liga after three years.
Fluent in Spanish after living in the country since childhood, Lee delivered his inaugural greeting in Spanish.
Lee said, "I am very happy to join a big club. I quickly want to wear the Atletico Madrid jersey and enjoy this new adventure together with the fans."
He greeted the fans by shouting "Aupa Atleti."
"Aupa" is a word originating from the Basque language, used as a friendly greeting or cheering slogan meaning "Let's go," "Come on," or "Fight on."
