Atletico Madrid confirm €30m signing of David Hancko from Feyenoord after Al-Nassr bizarrely abandoned transfer at last minute

<p>Atletico have confirmed the €30 million (£25m/$34m) signing of Hancko from Feyenoord. The Slovakian centre-back signed a long-term contract until June 2030 after completing his medical in Madrid. Hancko had been on the verge of joining Al-Nassr and had even arrived in Austria to meet the Saudi club’s squad in pre-season. However, in a bizarre turn, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/truly-scandalous-cristiano-ronaldo-s-al-nassr-multi-million-dollar-transfer-collapses/bltcf88f20ac986843c" target="_blank">Al-Nassr told the player in person that the transfer had collapsed</a> at the last moment.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 27-year-old becomes Atleti's latest addition as they continue to bolster their squad for the 2025-26 season. He joins other new arrivals including Marc Pubill, Matteo Ruggeri, Thiago Almada, Alex Baena and Johnny Cardoso. Hancko is expected to slot directly into Diego Simeone’s defensive plans, having impressed over three seasons with Feyenoord and earned interest from multiple top clubs.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Al-Nassr's decision to abandon the signing of Hancko sparked a furious reaction from Feyenoord, who labelled it a "truly scandalous" incident.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Los Rojiblancos finished third in La Liga last season and are gearing up for a fresh campaign that kicks off against Espanyol on August 17. Hancko will immediately join Atletico's pre-season camp in Los Angeles de San Rafael and he will look to integrate quickly into the team’s defensive setup and prove his value after a chaotic transfer saga.</p>
