July 23, 2025 – Madrid/Rotterdam
Atlético Madrid have completed the signing of Slovakian defender David Hancko from Feyenoord, with a deal worth €30 million plus add-ons now fully agreed between the clubs.
Personal terms have also been settled, with Hancko signing a contract to become Atlético’s new centre back, just days after his proposed move to Al Nassr fell through.
Hancko, 27, has impressed as one of the Eredivisie’s most reliable defenders and will now link up with Diego Simeone’s squad as part of their defensive overhaul for the 2025–26 season.
The move represents a significant reinforcement for Atlético’s back line, with Simeone eager to add Hancko’s physicality, positioning, and ball-playing ability to his system.
🆕 A new era begins for Hancko in La Liga. Official unveiling expected soon.
