Slovakian international defender David Hancko is prepared to face the might of city rivals Real Madrid for the first time this weekend. Hancko, 27, joined from Feyenoord over the summer and has slotted in at left-back under firebrand head coach Diego Simeone. 'El Cholo' is one of world football's most recognisable bosses, often seen parading up and down the touchline, berating match officials whilst sporting an unchanging all black suit.

Starting with the hosts, coming under serious scrutiny over the summer as they failed to book a Club World Cup knockout stage ticket over in the United States, Atletico Madrid have continued to show some serious issues since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. Getting proceedings underway with a shock 2-1 loss away at Espanyol on August 17th, Diego Simeone finds some major pressure on his shoulders.

Atletico's strong start at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix saw them awarded a penalty in the 14th minute when Mallorca captain Antonio Raillo handled in the box. Julian Alvarez assumed responsibility for the spot-kick, but could not give Atletico the lead as his effort was brilliantly saved by Leo Roman down to his left. Atletico's chances of victory took a hit midway through the second half when Sorloth, who had replaced Alvarez just after the hour, was sent off for a high challenge on Raillo.

Atletico Madrid keen on Andrew Robertson According to a report from Fichajes, Atletico Madrid are interested in securing his signature. He will be a free agent at the end of this season, and they are hoping to sign him on a free transfer. They will be able to secure a pre-contract agreement with the defender during the January transfer window. It will be interesting to see if the Scottish International is willing to move to Spain.

Alexander Isak made his Liverpool debut in the Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, and though he did not get on the scoresheet, captain Virgil van Dijk had nothing but praise for the former Newcastle striker.

According to Fichajes, they could offer 50 million (43m) for the Argentina International midway through the season. It will be interesting to see if Atletico Madrid are willing to sanction his departure. He was an important player for them last season, scoring five goals and picking up nine assists in 50 matches across all competitions. Giuliano Simeone would be a solid addition He is versatile enough to operate anywhere across the front three, and he is a very important player for them.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly preparing to seriously step up their interest in a potential transfer move for Aston Villa central midfielder Youri Tielemans. The Belgium international has mostly been a key player during his time at Villa Park, having previously also impressed during a spell at Leicester City. According to Fichajes, Tielemans could now be set to earn himself a big move to La Liga, with Atletico prepared to make an offer for the 28-year-old.

Youri Tielemans is a target for Atletico Madrid, and they are preparing an offer to sign him in the coming months. According to a report from Fichajes, they could offer a package of 45 million (39m), including bonuses, to sign the Belgian international. He could prove to be an excellent addition for them. Youri Tielemans would improve Atletico The 28-year-old has shown his quality in the Premier League, and he has the ability to do well in La Liga as well.
