Atlético are also in talks to sign Feyenoord centre-back Dávid Hancko. Sources have told ESPN that Le Normand, who is competing at Euro 2024 with Spain, has agreed to join Atlético this summer. French-born Le Normand, 27, is at the peak of his career. He recently completed his fifth campaign at Real Sociedad, making 47 appearances across all competitions, including seven in the Champions League. Sources also confirmed to ESPN that Atlético were able to convince Real Sociedad executives in a recent meeting to lower their initial asking price of €35m to facilitate the player's transfer to Madrid. Sources have told ESPN that negotiations have been smooth considering both clubs are also in talks for Atlético defender Javi Galán to extend his stay at Real Sociedad. Galan spent the second half of last season on loan at the San Sebastian-based club from Atlético. Atlético manager Diego Simeone requested his club to strengthen and rejuvenate the team's defensive line in this transfer window, with his team having conceded 43 goals in 38 games in LaLiga this past season. Atlético are also working on signing Hancko. The Slovakia centre-back is eager to play in LaLiga but the clubs have yet to reach an agreement. Sources have told ESPN that Atletico made a €20m offer to Feyenoord but the Dutch club will only listen to offers above €30m. Atlético are nevertheless optimistic an agreement can be reached but will look at alternative players if they cannot convince Feyenoord to lower their demands. Atlético are in need of defensive reinforcements with the club having already confirmed that Montenegro veteran defender Stefan Savic terminated his contract while Spanish defender Mario Hermoso turned down a contract extension to remain at the Wanda Metropolitano beyond this summer. Turkish defender Caglar Söyüncü is also expected to leave Atlético. Soyuncu is set to join Fenerbahce on a permanent transfer for a fee of up to €10m just one year after joining Atlético as a free agent. 17045216719239 The Golden State Warriors Challenge Navigating Chris Pauls Absence4 Chris Paul Warriors 1200x0 103480872 RTX28ZYS ?v=1529452019 Chris Paul 010820 Getty Ftrjpg 1bnyd7rkarpdd1flwrqv5oggj5 Chirs Paul Phoenix Suns Credit Dustin Bradford Getty Images 900x600 Chris Paul Dribbles Iso 1568x882 1200x0 Chris Paul Ba39a099c9364af7a74232bd9384c7c4 1237552643 Chris Paul Suns 900x1350 GettyImages 1234083278 Scaled E1626852064441 Chris Paul 1024x660 Chris Paul 3 2000 F3853a3b74834858906cbd9d4a64a17d Snapinsta.app 350720648 723630669515583 5433563646889436674 N 1080 2.webp Chris Paul Is Playing Basketball Chris Paul Suns Nba Playoffs Lead Chris 2 150x216 16454092741710 Chris Paul Phoenix Suns Nba 2023 03 28 13 28 33 Chris Paul 696x609 Chris Paul GettyImages 1320075495 Maxresdefault Usa Today 16179786 Phoenix Suns 20177319 Scaled E1681226162614 CP3 NBA 2K23 Bradley Beal Chris Paul Portraits Wizards Suns Trade R859985 1296x729 16 9 Chris Paul S Net Worth In 2023 Refurb 2 1024x574 Maxresdefault Chris Paul 27f24b976199499c63d2bb72d270c6fe Chris Paul Suns Pass
