Liverpool star leaving in the summer is a primary target for Atletico Madrid
Liverpool are ready to make major changes at the end of the season.
With both Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson announcing that they will leave the Premier League side at the end of the season, the Reds will be out in the market for new players and signings who can bring them out of the crisis they suffered this season.
Naturally, both Salah and Robertson are attracting attention from some top clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.
Atletico Madrid join race for Liverpool defender
Atletico Madrid have joined Tottenham in the race to sign Robertson, according to the Daily Record.
The left-back recently announced his decision to leave the club at the end of the season.
The Scottish defender claimed that it is time for him to ‘move on’ and look for a new challenge in his career.
The Spanish giants were heavily linked with the Scotland captain last summer after Liverpool brought in Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for £40m to be his long-term successor.
While a move didn’t materialise then, Atletico has now revived their interest, sensing a massive opportunity to grab a world-class talent on a free transfer.
From a tactical perspective, it feels like a match made in heaven. Robertson’s relentless energy, grit, and defensive tenacity perfectly align with Simeone’s philosophy.
