Andy Robertson has emerged as a shock transfer target for Atletico Madrid, with reports indicating the left-back is under consideration by the Spanish club.
The Scotland captain's long-term future remains uncertain at Liverpool following an underwhelming 2024/25 season. Milos Kerkez's expected arrival means that for the first time since joining the Reds in 2017, he may not be first-choice left-back next season.
It has promoted an update from Romano, who claimed via X that he could join Atletico this summer.
"Atletico Madrid top target at left back is Andy Robertson, appreciated internally as ideal candidate," claimed the social media figure.
"Not an easy deal at Liverpool rate him highly even with Kerkez due to join the club soon. Atléti have Robertson higher than Theo \[Hernandez\] on their shortlist at LB so far."
Robertson has referenced on several occasions his desire to remain at Liverpool even if the club brings in a new left-back, with the 31-year-old recently acknowledging he isn't oblivious to reports of the Reds' interest in Kerkez.
He has just one year left on his contract and admitted in an interview this week that his next steps are on his mind.
"We have discussed it, of course we have," Robertson said. "We've had good discussions with me and the club but what the future holds I am not sure.
"You know all I know is tomorrow I fly off on holiday and it is well needed.
"I need a rest after a long season and then I look forward to pre-season, that's all my focus is, I can't look too far ahead. I never have done that so I am not going to start doing that now.
"I know the position I am in and I have only got a year left and a lot is getting spoken about and getting said but my full focus is on being a dad for the next couple of weeks and enjoying that time with the kids."
