David Hancko, Feyenoord defender, has become the main target of Atlético de Madrid to strengthen their defensive line, according to MARCA. After officially signing Robin Le Normand, the interest in Hancko has grown, and both the player and Atlético de Madrid are committed to advancing negotiations with Feyenoord.
Hancko, who plays as a left central defender for his team but as a full-back for the Slovakian national team, has reiterated his desire to join Atlético de Madrid on multiple occasions. His receptiveness towards the rojiblanco club has been clear from the initial contact, maintaining an open attitude both publicly and in private conversations. This stance has been highlighted as the clubs work towards reaching an agreement on his transfer.
The Slovak defender recently spoke about the value assigned to him at Feyenoord, set at 35 million euros. In an interview with RTV Rijnmond, Hancko expressed that, although he does not determine his own market value, he acknowledges the impact of his performances. "I don't determine my own market value, although I have contributed to it with my performances. Many players before me have had the opportunity to take a step. Dennis Kloese (executive) knows that Feyenoord is not the final destination for some players. I have already said what I want, and now it's up to the clubs," Hancko commented.
Hancko wants to come to Atlético
Despite his appreciation for Feyenoord and gratitude towards the club's fans, Hancko has been clear about his ambition to play in the top leagues. "It won't be a disappointment if I stay here. I love this club, and De Kuip remains special in every game. I am very grateful for the support of the fans. However, as an athlete, I have always wanted to play in the top leagues," the defender affirmed.
Atlético de Madrid continues to work on adjusting the terms of the agreement with Feyenoord, aiming to meet the financial demands and finalize Hancko's transfer. The player's determination to join Atlético and progress in negotiations with Feyenoord suggest that a favorable outcome for Atlético could be close.
