Atlético de Madrid is moving in the market discreetly but with determination, and one of the most important focuses in these last hours is on the left-back position. Although the squad currently has Javi Galán and Samuel Lino, Diego Pablo Simeone is looking for a reinforcement to raise the competitive level in that area, and the name gaining strength is that of Lucas Digne.
The 31-year-old French full-back, who plays for Aston Villa, has emerged strongly on the red and white club's radar. According to recent information, the Madrid club is already preparing an offer of 10 million euros to try to convince the English team, which values the player at around 12 million. The differences do not seem insurmountable, and the agreement could be reached in the coming days if both parties slightly adjust their demands.
Atlético de Madrid wants to sign Lucas Digne
While Atlético competes in the Club World Cup with only one closed signing —Argentinian goalkeeper Juan Musso—, the sports management is working to strengthen several key positions. The case of Johnny Cardoso is advancing steadily, and both Cristian Romero and Álex Baena continue in the colchonero radar. However, the urgency to improve the left-back position has raised the priority of completing Digne's signing.
With extensive experience in Europe, the former Barcelona, PSG, and Everton player would bring depth, quality in midfield, and defensive solidity, characteristics that Simeone values for his system. His arrival would mean direct competition for Javi Galán and a reliable alternative in a season where the team aims to compete on all fronts. The operation is cooking at a moderate pace, but at the Metropolitano, they are already excited about adding experience and hierarchy to their left flank.
