🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Atlético Madrid Make Andy Robertson Their Top Left-Back Target
Atlético Madrid have identified Liverpool’s Andy Robertson as their top priority at left-back in the summer transfer window, sources confirm. The Scottish international is admired by the Spanish giants for his leadership, experience, and relentless energy — traits Diego Simeone values highly in a defender.
While the pursuit of Robertson is ambitious, it’s far from straightforward. Liverpool still rate the 30-year-old very highly, both for his on-pitch contributions and his role as a senior figure in the dressing room. Even with Milos Kerkez set to arrive at Anfield from Bournemouth to bolster the left-back position, the Reds are not in a rush to part ways with Robertson, who remains under contract.
Kerkez’s impending arrival has sparked speculation about potential changes in Liverpool’s defensive lineup, but club sources insist that Robertson’s future is not tied directly to the Hungarian’s signing. Rather, Liverpool view Kerkez as a long-term investment and competition for the position — not an outright replacement.
What makes Atlético’s interest even more intriguing is the internal hierarchy of their shortlist. Andy Robertson currently ranks above Theo Hernández of AC Milan in Atlético's considerations. While Hernández is also admired for his attacking flair and physicality, Robertson’s consistency at the highest level and Champions League pedigree make him the preferred candidate.
However, any deal will ultimately depend on the price. Atlético are known to operate within tight financial parameters, and Liverpool would command a significant fee for one of their most decorated players. Negotiations are expected to be challenging unless Robertson himself pushes for the move — something that has not yet occurred.
For now, Atlético Madrid are monitoring the situation closely. The club remains hopeful but realistic, aware that prising Robertson away from Anfield would take a major effort both financially and diplomatically. Expect further developments as the window unfolds.
