He has surely just had the best season of his career. Tasting the Champions League with Real Sociedad, Robin Le Normand was one of the great architects of the Basques’ great adventure up to the round of 16 of the C1 and a double confrontation lost against PSG. In line with this great vintage, the 27-year-old central defender followed up with a presence in the central hinge of Spain at the Euro. And like all his teammates, the former Brest player was excellent in the quest for this Euro 2024 won brilliantly.
Under contract until 2026 with Sociedad, the club he joined in 2018, the Pabu native was not expected to stay in San Sebastian this summer as Atlético Madrid was determined to recruit him. And after weeks of negotiations, the deal has been official since Saturday morning as the Colchoneros announced on their networks: “The Spanish international footballer will come to strengthen the red and white defense after his recent coronation as champion of Euro 2024. Robin Le Normand (Pabu, Côtes d’Armor, France, November 11, 1996) is a new player of Atlético de Madrid after signing the contract that will bind him to our club for five seasons.» A great deal for the Matelassiers who spent nearly 30 million euros on this transfer.
