Atletico Madrid have tried to sign Slovakia defender David Hancko from Feyenoord Rotterdam. But have been unsuccessful as the Rojiblancos’ offer is €8m short of the €35m they would like for the 26-year-old centre-back.
Meanwhile, Ecuadorian international defender Piero Incapie of Leverkusen is another target that Atletico Madrid are interested in. But he is also expensive and the 22-year-old is also a target for Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, who have more money. While Spain’s Euro 2024 winning centre-back Aymeric Laporte of Al-Nassr is also more interested in a move to Real Madrid.
Therefore, signing Lenglet from Barcelona is more likely than any other target. Before Relevo journalist Matteo Moretto reported that. The Rojiblancos have returned to talks with the Blaugrana to find an agreement over the 29-year-old centre-back.
For Lenglet, who has impressed in pre-season and has also impressed Hansi Flick. The club are planning to offload the French centre-back this summer rather than keep him on next season.
