Bundesliga star ‘has said yes' to Atlético Madrid move
That's according to market insider Fabrizio Romano, who points towards Enzo Millot as the player in question.
The name of attacking midfielder Millot has emerged as an altogether prominent one in the headlines at Atlético Madrid over recent days.
This comes after word was forthcoming that, amid an ongoing search for reinforcements in the middle of the park, the Frenchman has emerged as a leading Rojiblancos target.
And as alluded to above, if the latest word stemming from the media on Tuesday is anything to go by, then interest in a joining of forces between the parties is very much mutual.
As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano:
'Enzo Millot has said yes to Atlético Madrid project and personal terms are fully agreed. Negotiations underway with Stuttgart to get the green light under €23m clause.'

Wirtz said I would 'enjoy' Bayern move, says Diaz
Luis Diaz said former Liverpool teammate Florian Wirtz told him he would "enjoy" a move to Bayern Munich as the Colombian was unveiled by the Bundesliga champions on Thursday. The German giants reportedly paid a fee which could rise to 75 million euros ($86.5 million) for the 28-year-old, whose deal runs until 2029. Heavily linked with a move to Bayern, Wirtz left Bayer Leverkusen and signed with the Reds in June. Diaz only had a few weeks with the German international at Liverpool but revealed Wirtz's advice encouraged him to move to the Bundesliga. "I spoke to Florian a few times and he told me that the Bundesliga is very intense, similar to the Premier League, that it was very physical, the stadiums are always full," Diaz said Thursday. "He said that I'd enjoy it. He wished me luck. I thank him for that". Diaz arrives as the third most expensive signing in Bayern's history, but said he was unconcerned about the pressure the price tag would bring. "I can't say if I'm worth 70 million. I just want to settle in here as quickly as possible. That's the most important thing," he said. The only two bigger transfer fees paid by Bayern were 95 million euros for England captain Harry Kane in 2023 and 80 million for French international Lucas Hernandez in 2019. Diaz won the Premier League, FA Cup and two League Cups during his three-and-a-half years at Anfield. The winger made 50 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool last season, scoring 17 goals and providing eight assists as Arne Slot's team clinched the English league title for a record-equalling 20th time. dwi/nf

A big change for Erik ten Hag! Bayer Leverkusen boss convinced to ditch his preferred system and copy Xabi Alonso's 'good system' after talks with sporting director
Leverkusen to stick with 3-2-5 shape Wing-backs key to structured creativity Ten Hag expected to tweak, not overhaul Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Ten Hag has abandoned his trusted back-four philosophy just weeks into his Leverkusen reign, embracing the 3-4-2-1 system made famous by former Leverkusen boss and now Real Madrid manager Alonso. Following strategic talks with sporting director Simon Rolfes, the Dutch coach has begun testing the Alonso setup in training, aiming to maintain tactical continuity in a squad still built around the Spaniard's philosophy. THE BIGGER PICTURE With key figures like Jonathan Tah, Granit Xhaka, Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz gone, the Dutchman must rebuild a new core without dismantling the structure that delivered Leverkusen's first-ever Bundesliga title in 2023-24 under Alonso. Switching back to a 4-3-3 or signing traditional wingers like Raheem Sterling would have required major squad upheaval. Instead, Ten Hag has chosen to adapt and evolve, with squad versatility now a central part of his rebuild strategy. WHAT ROLFES SAID Sporting director Simon Rolfes admitted he nudged Ten Hag toward the three-at-the-back setup used under Alonso. 'I believe it's a good system. We have great stability in it and the players for it. It makes sense to put many of the players on the pitch,' he told BILD. XABI TACTICS EXPLAINED Alonso's 3-4-2-1 system evolved into one of the most fluid and devastating attacking setups in European football, which was also proved with the results. On paper, it resembled a 3-4-2-1, but in possession, it often became a 3-2-5, a formation designed to dominate territory, control tempo, and stretch opponents from side to side. At the base, a back three ensured defensive security and smooth build-up from deep while two midfielders acted as a double pivot ahead of the defence. The system's width came from the wing-backs, who constantly pushed high up the field. WHAT NEXT FOR LEVERKUSEN? The search for a fifth centre-back with leadership traits is ongoing, reinforcing the commitment to a back three. Ten Hag must now integrate new personnel while preserving Alonso's dynamism. With expectations high and the blueprint clear, the next chapter in Leverkusen's rise hinges on how well the Dutchman can blend his own vision with the legacy of one of modern football's most innovative systems.
