Liverpool may soon face a significant transfer decision regarding one of their key players from last season, as Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the player has attracted interest from a top European club.
The Premier League champions have been active in the summer transfer window, securing signings like Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, while also closing in on Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth. However, these moves could lead to potential departures from the squad.
According to Romano, Andy Robertson, Liverpool's left-back, is now on the radar of Atletico Madrid, who see him as their top target for the position. Despite Robertson's contract situation and his status as a key player for Liverpool, talks have reportedly begun between the player and Atleti.
Robertson, who started 38 games for Liverpool last season, has one year left on his current deal at Anfield. While the Reds are set to bring in Kerkez as competition for the left-back position, Romano suggests that Liverpool still value Robertson highly.
It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, as there is no established asking price for Robertson yet. The impending arrival of Kerkez does not necessarily mean that Robertson will be shown the exit door, as Liverpool are reportedly keen on keeping the Scotland international.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Robertson's future, the deal for Kerkez is said to be close to completion, with the player eager to join Liverpool. Romano also mentioned that Wirtz is set to undergo a medical next week after returning from holiday.
