Club Career

Verona

On 31 August 2017, Lee joined Italian club Hellas Verona on a four-year deal, for a fee of €1.5 million. Barcelona retained the option to repurchase him until 2019 for an undisclosed fee. On 24 September 2017, he made a Serie A debut for Verona in the second half of the game against Lazio. On 6 May 2018, he scored his first Serie A goal in an away match against Milan, but his team lost 4–1. Verona was relegated to Serie B by finishing their league as 19th place. In the 2018–19 season, he recorded one goal and two assists in 27 appearances, and his team was promoted to the Serie A by winning the promotion play-offs.

Sint-Truiden

On 30 August 2019, Lee joined Belgian First Division A side Sint-Truiden. He was excluded from the list of squad for twelve consecutive matches, and this situation caused much controversy in South Korea. On 29 November 2019, his name was on the list for the first time against Genk, but didn't appear. On 26 December 2019, he made his Belgian league debut against Waasland-Beveren. He finished his first season with only four appearances according to early termination of the Belgian league, caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On 13 September 2020, he scored his first and second goal for Sint-Truiden against Royal Antwerp, but his team lost 3–2 despite his two goals. He failed to score in six games, where he played as a starting member excluding a game against Antwerp, and his team also did not get a victory at the same time. When he was being excluded from the squad again, some South Korean journalists recommended playing in South Korea to him.

Loan to Portimonense

On 1 February 2021, Lee joined Primeira Liga side Portimonense on a six-month loan deal with an option to buy.
