Atletico Confirm Deal to Sign Athletico Paranaense Defender Renan Lodi

Atletico Madrid have confirmed that they have agreed a deal to sign Athletico Paranaense left-back Renan Lodi.

With Filipe Luis out of contract and Lucas Hernandez leaving for Bayern Munich, Atletico found themselves in need of a new left-back this summer, so they moved quickly to secure a deal for Lodi.

Atletico confirmed the news on their official website, writing: "Atletico de Madrid and Athletico Paranaense have reached a preliminary agreement over the transfer of Renan Lodi to our club. The agreement is pending its final confirmation both with the Brazilian club and the player.
