Atletico Madrid signed two central defenders during the summer, those being Robin Le Normand and Clement Lenglet (from Real Sociedad and Barcelona respectively). As things stand, they are expected to face the position once again before the start of the 2025-26 season.
Lenglet is only on loan at the Metropolitan, so a replacement for him would be necessary. In addition, Atleti is also expected to part with Cesar Azpilicueta when his contract expires at the end of this season, and according to ReliefI have already lined up his successor, who is Juanma Herzog.
Atleti were said to have made offers for Herzog during the summer, before landing Lenglet. On these occasions, Las Palmas issued refusals, although Los Colchoneros did not seem to be deterred.
The Palms Herzog rate very high, so it will not be easy for Atletico Madrid to secure their services. However, it is unlikely that he will be too expensive.
