Liverpool Latest Transfer: Atletico Madrid Eyes Andy Robertson Amid Kerkez Move

In the Liverpool latest transfer update, long-time left-back Andy Robertson is attracting serious interest from La Liga giants Atletico Madrid. With Liverpool nearing a £45 million deal for Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, the competition for Robertson’s starting spot is about to intensify — and Atletico are watching closely.

The Spanish side, known for scooping up experienced Premier League defenders like Kieran Trippier and Matt Doherty, have identified Robertson as a top summer target. The Scotland international is heading into the final 12 months of his contract, making this the perfect window for potential suitors to make their move. While Liverpool have yet to receive a formal offer, a bid from Atletico could force the club into a tough decision over the veteran defender’s future.

Robertson Reflects on His Future Amid Transfer Buzz

Speaking earlier this week, Robertson addressed the growing speculation. “We’ve had good discussions, me and the club, but what the future holds, I’m not sure,” he admitted. “I can’t look too far ahead… I know I’ve only got a year left.” Acknowledging the club’s transfer targets, he added: “The players we’re linked with are younger and exciting. At a club like Liverpool, you expect challenges and competition.”

Robertson has been a key figure at Anfield since his arrival from Hull City in 2017, racking up over 340 appearances and becoming a fan favorite. This past season, the 31-year-old made 45 appearances across all competitions and helped the Reds claim another Premier League title, underlining his enduring value to the squad.

Kerkez Signing Could Trigger Backline Shake-Up

The imminent arrival of Milos Kerkez adds another layer of urgency to the situation. Liverpool’s pursuit of the 20-year-old Hungarian star signals a clear intent to refresh the squad’s defensive options. As the Reds look toward the future, at least one senior left-back may need to make way — and both Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas are on watch.

Tsimikas, who has served as Robertson’s understudy for five seasons, is also attracting interest from English and European clubs. Whether it’s the Greek or Scottish international who departs, Liverpool’s full-back department is heading for a reshuffle.

For now, all eyes are on Anfield as fans await the next major move in the Liverpool latest transfer window. Will Robertson stay and fight for his place, or is a new chapter in La Liga on the horizon? For more football news, check out the link below.
