Andy Robertson could join Atletico Madrid this summer, with Kieran Trippier’s time in Spain a possible inspiration for the left-back.

Despite Robertson criticising Atletico Madrid back in 2020, it appears as if the Scotsman has had a change of heart and now seems set on moving to Spain.

Atletico Madrid see Robertson as a priority this summer, and the left-back himself is keen on the move.

Robertson’s hopes for a new Liverpool deal were revealed back in May, but with no offer on the table, the 31-year-old may now be tempted to move on.

When speaking on his time in Madrid, Trippier claimed Diego Simeone helped him become a better player by improving his defending – an aspect of Robertson’s game which has waned in recent times.

“When I went to Atlético Madrid, people were saying it was the wrong move for me, saying I wouldn’t make it past the halfway line,” Trippier told The Overlap in June 2024.

He was intelligent, and I learned so much from him.”

With Kostas Tsimikas likely to leave, Liverpool won’t want to lose Robertson as well this summer.

Atletico’s Julian Alvarez has been on Liverpool’s radar for some time now, and the Spanish club’s pursuit of Robertson could help kickstart a move for the striker.
