A Departure Nears for Liverpool Star, Reports from Spain Suggest

Recent reports from Spain suggest that one Liverpool player may be edging significantly closer to a departure from Anfield.

Fabrizio Romano revealed last weekend that Atletico Madrid have opened negotiations for Andy Robertson, with the defender reportedly open to the idea of joining Diego Simeone’s side.

Paul Joyce, writing for The Times, stated that the La Liga club hopes to secure the 31-year-old for just €5 million (£4.2 million), while Mick Brown of Football Insider reported that Liverpool are open to selling the left-back.

Personal Terms Reportedly Agreed with Atletico

According to Spanish outlet AS, via Football Espana, Atletico have now reached an agreement on personal terms with Robertson. The club’s hierarchy at the Metropolitano are said to be fully aware of his desire to move to Madrid and believe they can meet all of his expectations.

The next phase is for the clubs to agree on a transfer fee, and reports suggest that this should not pose a major hurdle.

Robertson’s Time at Liverpool Nears Its End

While confirmation from UK-based sources is still awaited, all signs now point toward Robertson leaving Liverpool after eight highly successful years, during which he was widely regarded as one of the top left-backs in world football at his peak.

Though his attacking contributions dipped last season—managing just two assists—and there were some poor performances (notably against Arsenal and Fulham), he remained a key figure in Liverpool’s second Premier League title win in six years.

With Milos Kerkez reportedly joining from Bournemouth and expected to become a regular under new manager Arne Slot, and with Robertson entering the final year of his contract, the timing might feel right for a new challenge abroad.

That said, losing a player bought for £10m in 2017 for less than half that amount may be difficult for fans to accept.

Nevertheless, given everything Robertson has contributed to the club, supporters are unlikely to begrudge him the chance to pursue a fresh opportunity—especially now that personal terms appear to be in place and a final agreement seems within reach.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Liverpool will soon bid farewell to a loyal and outstanding player, who would leave with the respect and gratitude of the entire fanbase.
