Atletico Madrid in talks with Enzo Millot | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid have started negotiations with Stuttgart midfielder Enzo Millot over a summer move, according to L’Equipe.

Millot is one of the Bundesliga’s most sought-after midfielders after helping Die Schwaben qualify for the Champions League in 2023-24.

The Frenchman also netted a double in last season’s DFB Pokal final against lower league side Arminia Bielefeld to end Stuttgart’s 18-year wait for a major trophy.

Having recently agreed a deal with Inter Miami for Rodrigo De Paul, Atletico are wasting no time in their search for a replacement and have a move for Millot high on the agenda.

Millot is capable of operating as an advanced playmaker, a central midfielder or on either flank.

The 23-year-old’s current contract with Stuttgart reportedly contains a release clause of around €20 million, a relatively low figure in today’s market.

Unsurprisingly, Los Colchoneros are not alone in their pursuit of Millot, with Turkish giants Galatasaray and several German clubs also keen on a move.

However, Atletico are believed to be Millot’s most attractive destination at the moment, but they will need to move quickly.

Atletico have made six new signings this summer. Their most recent acquisition was David Hancko from Feyenoord.

Hancko was on course for a move to Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr before a last-minute collapse opened the door for Atletico to swoop.
