MADRID, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Atletico Madrid continues its summer recruitment with the signing of Slovakian central defender David Hancko from Dutch side Feyenoord.

Hancko is Atletico's sixth signing this summer after the arrivals of Alex Baena, Johnny Cardoso, Marc Pubill, Thiago Almada and Matteo Ruggeri, while the club has also made loan deals for Clement Lenglet and Juan Musso permanent.

Atletico have closed the deal after Hancko's proposed move to Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr collapsed at the last minute.

His arrival will help Atletico coach Diego Simeone compensate for the departures of veteran defenders Axel Witsel, Cesar Azpilicueta and Reinildo, who has moved to Premier League outfit Sunderland.

Speaking on Wednesday, Atletico president, Enrique Cerezo told the press that in principle the club had concluded its transfer business for the summer "unless an opportunity" arises. ■
