It's believed that Atletico Madrid has shifted its gaze from Lucas Digne to Liverpool favorite Andy Robertson.

Diego Simeone, Atletico's boss, is on the hunt for a seasoned left-back this summer, and Robertson has emerged as a possible target.

The 31-year-old Scot only has one year remaining on his contract with Liverpool and could leave on a free transfer next summer.

Like the Liverpool left-back, Digne also has just a year left on his contract but is seen as an integral part of Unai Emery's plans.

Robertson is viewed by Atletico as a more realistic and cheaper option, having already spent seven years on Merseyside.

Kerkez is expected to add a further $60 million to Liverpool's summer bill when the Hungarian international's transfer from Bournemouth is finalized shortly.

Robertson and Jarell Quansah might be on their way out, with the latter expected to join Bayer Leverkusen.

In return for the Reds academy graduate, Leverkusen are likely to pay around £35 million ($47 million), a portion of what Liverpool spent on Wirtz and Frimpong.

Liverpool still has funds to spend and is not believed to be in danger of violating profit and sustainability regulations.

Just as Quansah's move to Leverkusen followed negotiations for Frimpong and Wirtz, a new striker could involve further talks with Atletico, this time for former Manchester City star Julian Alvarez.

The player's agent, Fernando Hidalgo, stated in March that the Reds had shown interest last year in signing the Argentina striker from Manchester City before his move to La Liga.

Further rumours have surfaced this summer linking the World Cup winner with a transfer to Anfield

Despite scoring 29 goals in all competitions last season, his future remains up in the air.

Arne Slot is keen to continue strengthening his squad, motivated by Arsenal and Manchester City both entering the transfer market in an attempt to keep pace with the Premier League champion.
