Atletico Madrid Signs Defender Robin Le Normand

Spain defender Robin Le Normand is set to join Atletico Madrid from Real Sociedad, with the transfer to be finalized in the coming days after his post-Euro holiday. The 27-year-old, who helped Spain win Euro 2024, played 221 games for Sociedad and was pivotal in their 2020 Copa del Rey victory. Atletico has not disclosed the financial details or the duration of Le Normand’s contract, though Sociedad mentioned a fee around €34.5 million. This move comes as Atletico restructures its squad, with several key players, including Stefan Savic, having departed the club. Le Normand’s transfer represents a significant addition to Diego Simeone’s defensively focused team.
