Diego Simeone’s side are making progress in their pursuit of Real Sociedad’s Robin Le Normand, and they are looking to sign another centre-back. This is where Hancko fits in, as per Marca.
Mundo relay that and then give their own take on the Slovakia international. It’s claimed the defender is valued at €35m, but Los Rojiblancos idea is to sign him for a lower price.
It won’t be easy for Atlético because the defender’s performances has seen other clubs, including Liverpool and Leicester, show interest in securing his signature
Mundo say they have found out that the Reds and the Foxes have asked about Hancko.
Slot managed Hancko at the Eredivisie side, and it needs to be seen whether this can give Liverpool an advantage over Leicester and Atlético in the transfer race.
