Atletico Madrid have completed a vital piece of transfer business with the signing of Robin Le Normand from Real Sociedad.
The two clubs have been locked in talks for weeks, either side of Le Normand playing a key role in Spain’s Euro 2024 title win, with a deal now confirmed.
Both clubs issued an update via social media with Atletico Madrid stating the move will be wrapped up in the coming days.

Le Normand has earned a reputation as one of La Liga’s top central defenders and he will be a major boost to Diego Simeone’s squad.
As per a previous report from Diario AS, Le Normand will cost Atletico €30m, plus around €5m in variables, as the 27-year-old leaves the Basque Country.
Le Normand will sign a long term deal in Madrid, but the club will make a late call on including him in their preseason tour of Asia, as he returns from a post Euro 2024 holiday.
