Although Atlético de Madrid's transfer market is approaching an outstanding one, there is still a place to fill. This is the left-handed profile of the defense, a position that Mario Hermoso had been occupying after Reinildo's serious injury. The Spaniard had the opportunity to renew with the red and white team last year, but there was no agreement.
In fact, Mario Hermoso has not yet signed with another club, even though he remains a free agent since July 1. Now, it could be a team from the Spanish championship that would give the defender the opportunity to join their squad. It must be taken into account that there are numerous candidates who had already asked about the player's situation, although without agreement.
Mario Hermoso interests Sevilla
Obviously, the future of the Spanish defender is no longer a problem for Atlético de Madrid , although his situation is somewhat curious. Mario Hermoso was an indisputable piece in Simeone's plans , who even publicly asked for his renewal. However, the sports management 's intention was to achieve a significant reduction in his salary , something that was not accepted.
In this way, Mario Hermoso left the squad once his relationship with the colchonero team ended on June 30 . Since then, the footballer has been linked with several clubs in Europe , although without signing with any of them. Now, Sevilla emerges as a potential candidate to incorporate the former Atlético de Madrid for the next campaign.
This was revealed by journalist Fernando Serrano , explaining that the Andalusian team had explained to him that he would be an important piece. Obviously, the biggest obstacle to reaching an agreement would be the Spaniard's salary, which is not a minor problem. For now, Sevilla only remains as a new option to the long list of candidates who would have asked about the center-back.
David Hancko, stalled
The favorite at Atlético de Madrid to occupy that left-footed profile was the Slovak defender from Feyenoord , although there is beginning to be pessimism. From the Netherlands they have considered the first offers from the red and whites as unacceptable and do not want to lower their claims. David Hancko already publicly explained that his wish was to be able to sign for the Madrid entity, although without forcing an exit.
Right now, the Metropolitano has begun to evaluate other alternatives given the impossibility of reaching an agreement with Feyenoord . The Dutch team would place David Hancko's price close to 40 million euros , a figure that is too high for the Colchoneros. For this reason, the option of Aymeric Laporte has already been activated, who would be happy to leave Saudi Arabia and return to Spain.
