Throughout the summer transfer window, Atletico Madrid were very interested in signing David Hancko. They submitted several offers to Feyenoord, although they all ended up being rejected – as a result, he stayed in Rotterdam.
However, it seems that Los Colchoneros will not be deterred by the waste of the summer. They need to sign at least one or two more central defenders in 2025 due to the expected departures of Axel Witsel and Cesar Azpilicueta, while Clement Lenglet is only on loan from Barcelona. Hancko remains on his list, as reported by Ruben Uria (via ED).
The reason that Atletico Madrid they could not land Hancko was because they considered that the asking price of Feyenoord was too high, and the problem going forward is that the rate is unlikely to change too much because the Slovakian international is under contract until 2028. However, it will be interesting to see. how serious his research is next summer.
