Atletico Madrid have reportedly withdrawn their interest in Lucas Digne, shifting their focus towards Andy Robertson instead.

Robertson, who reportedly could be available for a mere £5million, has emerged as a potential target.

The 31-year-old Scotland international only has one year left on his contract with Liverpool and could depart for free next summer.

The Times reports that Simeone has lost interest in Villa's Digne after learning that the Frenchman would cost £10m

Like Robertson, Digne also has just a year left on his contract but is considered a key part of Unai Emery's plans.

Robertson is seen by the La Liga club as a more affordable and achievable target

He could be set to end his seven-year stint on Merseyside, a period that has seen him win two Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy.

Liverpool are eager to recoup some funds after splashing out a combined £146m on Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong

Much like Quansah's move to Leverkusen came following negotiations for Frimpong and Wirtz, a new striker could involve further negotiations with Atletico - but this time for former Manchester City star Julian Alvarez.

The player's representative, Fernando Hidalgo, claimed in March the Redshad enquired last year about signing the Argentina striker from Manchester City before his switch to La Liga for £80million.

And further reports have emerged this summer linking the World Cup winner with a move to Anfield.

His future remains uncertain, despite netting 29 goals in all competitions last season.

Alvarez made the switch to the Spanish capital in a £65m deal and it's been loosely reported that a similar fee could tempt him back to the Premier League.

Arne Slot is eager to keep enhancing his squad, spurred on by Arsenal and City both dipping into the transfer market in an attempt to catch up with the Premier League champions.
