Atletico Madrid have opened preliminary discussions to sign Almeria midfielder Stefan Dzodic as the Spanish capital club begin planning their recruitment ahead of next summer's transfer window. The 21-year-old Serbia international is protected by a €40 million (£33m/$45m) release clause and a long-term deal running until June 2032.
La Liga president Javier Tebas has praised the commercial and digital impact Cristiano Ronaldo has brought to Almeria following his recent acquisition of a stake in the Spanish second-tier side. The league chief explained how the Portuguese superstar's global appeal and massive social media presence have instantly elevated the club's international profile and attractiveness to major sponsors.
