Atlético Madrid want Liverpool star this summer | OneFootball

The brass at La Liga giants Atlético Madrid have set their sights firmly on the signing of a member of the defensive ranks at Premier League champions Liverpool.

That’s according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, who points towards Andy Robertson as the player in question.

Scottish international Robertson is for his part expected to see his long-term status as first-choice left-back at Anfield come under threat over the months ahead.

This comes with Liverpool closing on a deal for talented Bournemouth star Milos Kerkez.

And eager to take advantage of this situation, as alluded to above, are Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid.

On the lookout for left-back reinforcements of their own for next season, Atléti, it is understood, have identified Robertson as the ‘ideal candidate’.

As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano:

‘Atlético Madrid top target at left back is Andy Robertson, appreciated internally as ideal candidate. Not an easy deal at Liverpool rate him highly even with Kerkez due to join the club soon. Atléti have Robertson higher than Theo on their shortlist at LB so far.’
