A European champion with Griezmann
Atletico Madrid, where Frenchman Antoine Griezmann plays, will have a reigning European champion in its ranks. Spanish central defender Robin le Normand is leaving Real Sociedad for the Colchoneros.

He could have been a teammate of Antoine Griezmann in the French team. Robin le Normand is on the verge of being one in his club. Naturalized Spanish in 2023, the native of Pabu (Côtes-d’Armor) will sign with Atlético de Madrid and leave Real Sociedad, the two Liga clubs announced on Saturday. The transfer fee is estimated at nearly 35 million euros by
Transfermarkt.

Aged 27, the central defender (17 caps) has just won the Euro with La Roja after a
victory on July 14 in the final against England (2-1) and one
success against the Blues of Griezmann and Mbappé in the semi-final (2-1).

Robin le Normand began his career with Stade Brestois before taking charge of Real Sociedad in the Basque country in 2016.
