Le Normand, who was part of the side that won UEFA Euro 2024, will finalise his move to Atleti "in the coming days" for a fee believed to be in the region of €34.5 million ($57.2 million).

French-born Le Normand started his career with Brest before spending eight years with Txuri-Urdin, for which he made 221 senior appearances across all competitions, while winning the 2019-2020 Copa del Rey.

The 27-year-old is fresh from international success in Germany, where he played in six of Spain's seven matches, while he also helped La Roja win the UEFA Nations League last year.

A statement on Atletico's official website read: "Atletico and Sociedad have reached an agreement for the transfer of Le Normand. The deal will be finalised in the coming days when the player returns from his holiday.

Meanwhile, Sociedad wrote on X: "We'll always remember his dedication and gratitude to the colours that have shaped him into the player he is today. Good luck."
