Atletico Madrid is ready to take the next step in their transfer push to sign a new links back for the 2025/26 LA Liga season.
Diego Simeone is clearly in his goal to bring in an experienced figure to strengthen his backline with Liverpool star Andy Robertson who pops up like his rumor option no. 1.
A shock movement for the Scotland -International has quickly emerged since the beginning of June with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano who initially broke the story.
Frustration about his current options in the role is thinking of Simeone's thinking with the Argentinian points of his plan after the loss of Atletico Madrid World Cup for Paris Saint-Germain.
Los Rojiblancos gathered to win against Seattle Sounders, but their place in the last 16 stays firmly in the balance.
Madrid's early rumors hinted at Simeone and wanted a free transfer deal to reunite Robertson with Trent Alexander-Arnold in the Spanish capital.
Robertson is interested in the move, but he wants to speak with Arne Slot before he makes a decision during his next phase.
Robertson is extremely popular with Anfield, but with Milos who is approaching Kerkez during a transfer movement to Merseyside, he could see him slide over the pecking order on Merseyside.
Reports from the Times journalist Paul Joyce claimed that Liverpool wanted at least £ 5 million to let Robertson go this summer with former Barcelona defender Lucas Dignne added as Plan B.
Both players no longer have a contract in June 2026, but despite the Premier League of Robertson and the UEFA Champions League titles, DIGNE is appreciated at £ 10 million by Unai Emery – according to Football Insider.
That update from Villa Park has effectively ended Simeone's interest in keeping the Frenchman on his radar, with Robertson as more feasible and for less.
