Atletico Madrid have made it one of their goals to strengthen their defense over the summer, as their record at the back continues to hamper them this season. A new target has emerged for Los Colchoneros, but he will have competition from crosstown rivals Getafe for the little defender Alexsandro.
The 24-year-old Brazilian is Leny Yoro's partner at the back for Lille, and Relief they say he is a target for both Madrid sides, although they will face competition from several clubs for him. He has a contract until 2028, but has been left out of the end as he has refused to sign a new deal so far.
Alexsandro has played 36 times this season, scoring once, but before March he had started 34 consecutive times with Yoro. A big central defender who stands out for his reading of attacks and ability in the air, he could be an affordable option on the transfer market to strengthen the backline of any side.
