With The Caglar Soyuncu Signing, Atletico Madrid Is Optimistic.

The defender Caglar Soyuncu of Leicester City is expected to join with Atletico Madrid.

As part of a team rebuild in the Spanish capital, Diego Simeone is focused on acquiring defensive reinforcements during the January transfer window.

Simeone is eager to bring in an experienced center back in the next months since Los Rojiblancos’ standing as defensive enforcers has declined over the last 12 months.

Following Atletico’s elimination from the Champions League group stage last month, Simeone will only have a little transfer budget to deal with in the next weeks, and Soyuncu is an intriguing alternative.

Soyuncu is hoping to move on in January after making only one top-flight start so far in 2022–23, and Leicester is prepared to decrease their £22 million asking price.

After he turned down a transfer to Italy, according to sources from Mundo Deportivo, Atletico is becoming more optimistic that they will reach a deal with the Premier League club as negotiations continue in Madrid.
