A second high-profile defender is set to move to Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid have endured one of their worst defensive seasons under Diego Simeone in 2023-24, and they will surely make some moves this summer. Not only are they close to signing Robin Le Normand from Real Sociedad, but a second transfer is also close to being agreed.

Atletico Madrid have identified David Hanko as a top target, according to Marca . They hope to sign the Slovak defender towards the end of his Euro 2024 campaign, while they are reportedly close to agreeing a deal with Feyenoord.

The idea is that Atletico will push forward with talks with the Eredivisie side once Slovakia exits Euro 2024. Will allow players to participate in pre-season games.

However, Hanko did suffer an injury in Slovakia’s recent loss to Ukraine, which puts his availability for next week’s game against Romania in doubt. It would also facilitate his signing with Atletico Madrid if he is unable to continue playing in Germany.
