The 23-year-old defender produced stunning statistics of 2.3 tackles and 3.3 interceptions per game in the World Cup which eventually enhanced his reputation as a classy center back.
His immense improvement in the past couple of years saw European Elites such as Real Madrid and Liverpool getting lured to avail his services. But however, he has recently signed a new contract with Atletico Madrid that runs until the end of the year 2023.
