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.

Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea in the summer transfer window. Atletico manager Diego Simeone personally wants to bring Jackson to the Metropolitano Stadium.

Atletico Madrid is close to signing Cristian Romero from Tottenham, with manager Diego Simeone actively pursuing the defender, recognizing him as a perfect fit for his squad.

"When we think of him we think of his youth, energy and intensity in the game. He also strikes the ball very well," Simeone said.
