Atlético Madrid has made Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson their top transfer target for the upcoming summer window. Robertson, 31, who has one year remaining on his Liverpool contract, is reportedly keen on joining Atlético, and initial talks between the player and the club have begun, although no formal negotiations have yet taken place between the clubs. Despite Liverpool valuing Robertson highly, especially with the imminent arrival of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, Atlético appear to prioritize Robertson over other options such as Theo Hernandez. However, Atlético Madrid has recently signed Matteo Ruggeri, a 22-year-old Italian left-back from Atalanta, on a long-term contract reportedly worth around €20 million including add-ons, which raises questions about Robertson's potential move. Additionally, Atlético Madrid has strengthened their midfield by signing American Johnny Cardoso from Real Betis on a four-year deal for approximately €30 million. Cardoso, who previously played for Internacional and represents the United States internationally, has committed to Atlético until June 2030.
