The Spanish club Atlético Madrid is reportedly set to target a Bundesliga defender for the January transfer window, according to reports from Spain's El Chiringuito De Deportes.
According to the report, the La Liga side have their eyes on a player who has been in impressive form this season with Borussia Dortmund, the German giants' young left-back Emre Can.
Can has already made over 50 appearances for Dortmund and has impressed with his performances, scoring four goals and providing three assists so far this season. He also had a successful loan spell at Real Betis last season, where he helped them reach the Europa League final.
If Atlético were to sign Can, it would be a significant move as they look to strengthen their defence ahead of next season's UEFA Champions League campaign. The Argentine forward Diego Costa has been linked with a move away from the club, which could open up opportunities for other players such as Can to step into the team.
Can's versatility and experience make him a strong option for Atlético, who may struggle without their experienced centre-backs next season. If the deal goes through, Can will bring both talent and experience to the team, making him a key addition for the upcoming season.
