Atlético Madrid are reportedly closing in on the signing of Real Sociedad center-back Robin Le Normand.
Negotiations between the two Spanish clubs are progressing positively, with personal terms already agreed upon with the player weeks ago.
Atlético are keen to solidify their central defense and view Le Normand as a key piece to their puzzle.
Sources suggest that Atlético have scheduled a new round of talks with Real Sociedad in the hopes of finalizing the transfer by the end of next week.
This urgency could be due to manager Diego Simeone’s desire to integrate Le Normand into the squad as soon as possible for pre-season training.
Le Normand, a 27-year-old French defender, has impressed with his consistent performances for Real Sociedad. His strong defensive presence and ability to build play from the back have reportedly attracted the attention of several top European clubs.
However, Atlético appear to be frontrunners in the race for his signature, and this transfer would significantly bolster their defensive options.
