Atletico Madrid has set Liverpool’s left-back Andy Robertson as its main target before the summer transfer window, and the Spanish club is actively seeking reinforcements for Diego Simeone’s side.
Sources with close ties to the agency industry have been notified Attracted by the side Robertson has attracted the attention of the athletics recruiting team, and negotiations between the two clubs are said to be steadily developing.
Robertson joined Liverpool from Hull City in 2017 and has been a key figure in the club’s long-standing most successful era.
The left-back won multiple Premier League titles and Champions League titles during his time at Anfield.
Andy Robertson faces uncertain future at Liverpool
But his long-term future at Anfield is far from guaranteed.
Robertson is still on contract until 2026, but the club is reportedly considering refreshing the left side of its defense.
Another offensive left-back Bournemouth expects the arrival of Milos Kerkez to make Robertson’s role more complicated.
Despite this, Robertson is believed to be keen to fight for his position in Anfield.
He hopes to obtain an extension of the contract to reflect the club’s recent long-term plan, which has led to talks between Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk on their future.
However, Liverpool’s price is £250,000-300,000, and Atletico Madrid is currently unwilling to hold a meeting.
Although Robertson expressed his willingness to stay, he would also be willing to accept new opportunities if the club’s plan toward him is no longer core.
Atletico Madrid is closely monitoring the situation and is expected to take formal action in the coming days.
Robertson can follow Alexander Arnold to Madrid
When Trent Alexander-Arnold moved to Real Madrid this summer, the Reds had lost to a club in Madrid.
They may lose another defender now, but this time it’s another Madrid club.
Much depends on how Liverpool manages their defensive restructuring and whether the competition is ready to meet the club’s valuation. Currently, Robertson’s future is undecided.
Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho described the celebrity as “absolutely incredible”.
