The remarkable summer transfer window being enjoyed by La Liga giants Atlético Madrid has over the last 24 hours continued.
This comes amid confirmation of an agreement for a fresh addition to the club’s defensive ranks.
The latest player primed to take his talents to Spain’s capital for the season ahead? Dávid Hancko.
The name of stopper Hancko had reemerged as an altogether prominent one in the media chatter surrounding Atlético across the week to date.
This came after word was forthcoming that the Slovak’s planned move to Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr had fallen through at the last minute.
Long-time admirers of Hancko’s talents, Atléti, in turn, repositioned themselves in the race for his services.
And as alluded to above, just a day on from closing a deal for Marc Pubill, an agreement has been sewn up for Hancko, too.
As per a statement across the Rojiblancos’ website and social media platforms:
‘Atlético de Madrid and Feyenoord have reached an agreement over the transfer of Dávid Hancko to our club, pending the completion of the medical examination and the signing of his new contract.’
