Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has reportedly expressed his desire to leave the Premier League champions amid interest from Atletico Madrid this summer. The Scotland international has emerged as a key target for the LaLiga outfit as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2025-26 season.
Fabrizio Romano reports that initial talks have begun between Robertson and the Spanish side, and he is keen on the move. They consider the former Hull City man a priority target and will treat him as such this summer.
Atletico Madrid expressed their desire to sign an experienced left-back from the English top-flight after failing to land Theo Hernandez from AC Milan. They did not find an agreement with the Serie A side and have since turned their attention to Robertson.
Liverpool star Robertson may become the second full-back to leave the club this summer after Trent Alexander-Arnold incidentally joined Real Madrid. The left-back is eager to move elsewhere as the Reds are closing in on the signing of Bournemouth star Milos Kerkez this summer, as well.
A mainstay for most of his eight years at Anfield, the 31-year-old appeared to struggle in Arne Slot's system at times in the 2024-25 season. They were keen to keep him and allow Kostas Tsimikas to leave, but his interest in a move to Spain may see the club agree to let him move.
Robertson has just 12 months left on his contract with Liverpool and has not held talks towards signing a new deal. He played 45 times across all competitions for the excellent Reds in the 2024-25 season and will look to move to another top-level side in Atletico Madrid.
