Robertson is one of the most popular characters in the club and one of the most important managers of the changing room in Anfield.
The defense lawyer has won everything from Hull City for only 8 million pounds and consolidated his legacy as a Liverpool legend by playing central roles in two Premier League winner campaigns and as a triumph of the Champions League title.
He also lifted a FA Cup, two Carabao Cups, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Championship as an ubiquitous part of Liverpool’s back-on.
However, the 31-year-old tried to maintain his level of performance for the Reds this season, with his position being seen as a weak member in Arne Slot’s title winning team.
Two Liverpool legends had even asked the club to make a replacement left-back in the transfer window, with both Mark Lawenson and Jamie Carragher standing behind him.
Liverpool will bring in the left -back with a deal for Bournemouth’s Hungarian Ass Milos Kerkez Kerkez Kerkez Kerkez, which is accepted, and throws doubts about Robertson’s future in Slots.
It was expected that Liverpool would try an upgrade with a deal for Kerkez to bring Robertson to the second choice again and probably see the current second line -up that “Greek Scouser” Konstantinos Tsimikas.
But it seems that Atletico Madrid is ready to give Robertson the opportunity to play in Spain and give him more regular football for the first team – something that the defender takes into account.
Robertson spoke out in the recent international break with his unsafe position in the Liverpool team, with speculation about Kerkez as a potential replacement.
“If you play for a large club like Liverpool, you can expect challenges that you expect a competition,” said the Scotland International, who started 27 from the 34 league games of the Reds this season when they were crowned with the master.

“I have always confronted this and have all of them in his own positions.
“We want the club to be ambitious, they do this and wherever we fit if you are satisfied with the role you stay and do it and if you don’t, I am sure that there will also be some people at the door.
“This is the nature of football.”
A move to the Spanish capital would reunite the Scots with the long-time full-back Alexander-Arnold, who was officially presented this week as Real Madrid player.
But instead of pinging balls from opposite sides of the field to each other, as they have done for years with Anfield, they would be in opposing teams in the Madrid derby.
The Atleti boss Diego Simeone is looking for a new starting defender after the departure of another former star of the Premier League, Cesar Azpilicueta.

The ex-Schelsea captain is no longer a contract at the end of June and will continue in the Metropolitano stage after two years.
Left -back Reinildo is also taken out of the contract in Atleti this summer and will probably leave three interested parties of the Premier League.
Theo Hernandez from AC Milan used to be connected to Atletico in the window, but it is now assumed that Robertson is one of her top destinations.
A step for Robertson would continue a trend by Simeone -Stars on Premier League stars.
Azpilicueta, Julian Alvarez and Conor Gallagher came from the English top in the last transmission windows.
They all enjoyed successful spells with the Madrid Giants, who took third place in three of the last four seasons in Laliga behind Real Madrid and Barcelona and finally tried success in the 2020/21 campaign.
