Feyenoord defender David Hancko finally completed his departure from Feyenoord on Wednesday. The Slovakian defender was set to join the Saudi Arabian team AI Nassr on two occasions, but both deals fell through.

Atletico Madrid have snapped up David Hancko from Feyenoord after Al-Nassr bizarrely pulled out of the deal at the very last second.

“Atletico and Feyenoord have reached an agreement over the transfer of David Hancko to our club, pending the completion of the medical examination and the signing of his new contract,” Atletico, who finished third behind champions Barca and Real Madrid in La Liga, said in a statement late yesterday.
