Atletico Madrid have made a decision on Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson.

The Andrew Robertson to Atlético Madrid story was one of the major Liverpool transfer news stories that made the rounds so far this summer.

Earlier this month, news broke that the Spanish giants have Robertson as their top target at left-back this summer.

Robertson has been a long-serving member of the club, spending eight years on Merseyside and winning everything possible in English football.

However, he has seen his performances drop over the last year or two, and Liverpool have moved to sign a long-term replacement for him.

After months of speculation, the club announced the signing of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth on Thursday.

Kerkez’s arrival sparked widespread reports that Robertson could leave this summer, and Atletico Madrid were thought to be the most likely destination, considering that the Spanish club had made him their primary left-back target for this summer.

The Spanish giants need cover at left-back after both Reinildo and César Azpilicueta prepare to leave the Wanda Metropolitano this summer.

Javi Galán featured in 21 La Liga matches last season but has not been convincing as a long-term solution, prompting Atletico to explore an established alternative.

Atletico, it was said, saw Robertson as a bargain given his contract situation at Anfield, with just one year remaining.

The defender was also said to be open to moving to the Spanish capital, and all the signs pointed to the interest being sustained into the summer window, given that he was said to be their primary left-back target.

However, the latest report from Spain has revealed that Atletico Madrid have quickly moved on from their pursuit of Robertson.

The Spanish giants have agreed a deal to sign Atalanta left-back Matteo Ruggeri and have now ‘discarded’ Robertson.

This is according to Matteo Moretto (via Atletico Universe)?

According to the journalist, “Andrew Robertson to Atlético Madrid has been discarded and he is no longer an option.”
