Atlético de Madrid is shaking up the market like never before. Although the red and white club has been slow to pull the strings, the result is being very enriching for a fan who demanded a summer of this level. First it was Le Normand followed by Alexander Sorloth , and now ConorGallagher and JuliánÁlvarez will be the next to dress as colchoneros.
A transfer window that looks unbeatable, but Gil Marín seems not to have said his last word. While waiting for the English footballer and the Argentine to finalize their arrivals at Atlético de Madrid in the next few hours, the club's top leader is already looking to the future. And although all the lines of the field have been well reinforced, it is evident that there is an area that needs special attention: the defensive back.
The incorporation of Robin Le Normand is not enough to replace the departures of Stefan Savic , Mario Hermoso and Gabriel Paulista . That is why since the transfer market was open, Atlético de Madrid had already chosen David Hancko as a companion for the former Real Sociedad player. However, several contractual problems have complicated the Slovakian's arrival at the Metropolitano , something that could be resolved soon.
Atlético de Madrid will fight for Hancko
And, according to the Diario AS journalist, Eduardo Burgos, Atlético de Madrid would have decided to go after Hancko again, once they close Gallagher and Julián Álvarez . Negotiations will begin, for the second time, with Feyenoord , who have already rejected an offer of around €30 million from Atlético de Madrid for the 26-year -old defender.
Something that has sparked great controversy in the Netherlands and Spain , where they offer different versions of the tug-of-war between the two clubs. However, it seems that David Hancko 's desire is to play for Atlético de Madrid as he demonstrated, along with his agent, during the Euro Cup . It was in the great national team tournament where they confirmed that they would view his departure to Cívitas Metropolitano very favorably, as it represented an important leap in quality in his career.
In fact, DavidHancko spoke out again on this issue after becoming champion of the Dutch Super Cup by defeating PSV Eindhoven in the penalty shootout by two to four. He stated that his departure to Atlético de Madrid was not about money as many media outlets commented. In addition, he confirmed that " this is not something that is in my hands and I can't do anything about it ."
This being the case, it seems clear that everything will depend on the decision of the mattress managers. They will be the ones who will fight to satisfy the Feyenoord negotiators, who are already upset with Atlético de Madrid 's way of negotiating . However, everything seems to indicate that they will try once again to recruit David Hancko before the transfer market ends on September 1.
