Atlético confirm deal with Renan Lodi, set to sign five-year contract | OneFootball

Atlético officially announced this Wednesday (24th) that they have reached an agreement to sign left-back Renan Lodi. As previously reported by the portal Deus Me Dibre, the player will sign a contract with Galo for five seasons.

In a statement released by the club, Atlético confirmed that all the negotiation terms have already been defined between the parties. However, the black-and-white board emphasized that the definitive signing of the contract and the official announcement of the reinforcement will only occur after the completion and approval of medical exams, which are scheduled for the coming days.

Renan Lodi was at Al Hilal, in Saudi Arabia, but left the club in September this year after not being registered in the Saudi Championship. The departure happened unilaterally and ended up triggering a legal dispute that is still ongoing. At the time, the Saudi club stated that it would take all necessary legal measures to safeguard its interests, as the left-back had a valid contract until mid-2027.

Revealed by Athletico-PR, Lodi gained national prominence in Brazilian football before being transferred to Atlético de Madrid in 2019. At the Spanish club, he experienced the best moment of his career, with three seasons of good performance, important titles, and call-ups to the Brazilian National Team. Later, he had stints with Nottingham Forest in England and Olympique de Marseille in France before being sold to Al Hilal in 2024.

The signing of Renan Lodi represents a move by Atlético in the market to strengthen the squad with an experienced player, well-traveled in international football, and with a history of high-level competition.
