Atletico Madrid are close to signing a Leicester defender

Atletico Madrid are very close to signing Leicester defender Caglar Soyuncu. The Turkish player's contract expires in the summer and the "Dushekchii" have contacted him to convince him to take the direction of the Spanish capital.

It seems that the negotiations are in an advanced phase and soon it may come to the signing of a preliminary contract, which will come into force from the summer, reveals "Athletic". Soyuncu has been in the sights of Atlético Madrid since the winter, when, however, his transfer did not come to fruition. However, things are different now and the deal is on the final stage.

The 26-year-old centre-back has been a key player for Leicester until recently, but has fallen out of favor this season and has made just seven appearances in all competitions. He has stated that even if he receives an offer from the "Foxes" for a new contract, he will not sign it and will leave the "King Power Stadium".
