Aston Villa and AS Roma were on the ball, but the Turkish defender should instead take the direction of Spain and its capital.
Arrived in August 2018 in England from Freiburg, Caglar Söyuncü is preparing to leave Youri Tielemans and Leicester during this winter transfer window. The Turkish central defender, who lacked playing time during the start of the season despite some previous high-quality exercises, is however preparing to take a new step forward in his career by joining Spain.
Indeed, according to information from the Italian journalist Fabricius Roman, the Foxes would take over the management of Atlético de Madrid from Diego Simeone, who would have managed to win the negotiations ahead of Aston Villa and AS Roma. Still according to the Italian journalist, the contract is not yet closed, even if the negotiations are going in the right direction.
Atlético Madrid are close to complete the signing of Çağlar Söyüncü for 2023. Deal not done or signed yet but negotiations are advanced, waiting to get it sealed as soon as possible. ⚪️???????????? #Athletes
