Atletico Madrid set to land signature of a 25-year-old Newcastle United target star defender

Due to the impending departures of Stefan Savic and Mario Hermoso in the upcoming weeks, Atletico Madrid is in the market for new defenders. Although free agents are also being considered, big-money moves for Piero Hincapie, Robin Le Normand, and Cristhian Mosquera have all been conjectured upon.

Lloyd Kelly, whose departure from AFC Bournemouth was announced earlier this week, is one of the players being considered. The 25-year-old has been strongly connected to Newcastle United, who are the obvious front-runners to sign him. However, according to a report from Sky Sports (via MD), Atleti may make a last-ditch effort to get him.

Roma have also been linked with Kelly, who would be a very shrewd signing for Atletico Madrid, given the fact that he would arrive for nothing. However, it looks like that they will miss their chance, as Newcastle look primed to get a deal over the line. Still, there’s no agreement yet, so there is a still a chance if a move is made quickly.
