Simeone wants to turn Robertson into his new trippier. Atlético first contacts with Liverpool showing interest in the Scottish side, 31, who will leave Anfield Road After the imminent signing of the Hungarian Kerkez. However, the situation with the British player is the same as with Theo: The real objective remains Miguel Gutiérrez, who is whom he wants the Cholo to occupy the left flank of the defense. However, Real Madrid, who holds 50% of his rights, remains an insurmountable obstacle to rojiblancos.
In this scenario, Atlético will have to make a decision soon: either he plays it waiting for Miguel Gutiérrezwhose freedom is worth 35 million, or opts for a more conservative solution, which in this case would be Andy Robertson After having ruled out theo this week, with whom a maneuver began to soften the Posture of Girona.
Simeone remembers the good performance that Trippier gave him and, if he finally discards Miguel Gutiérrez, He would be satisfied with Robertson, which has been for many years the left side of the Liverpool, and which has precisely had to suffer several times both in Champions League qualifiers and in groups of the group stage. The Scottish turned 31 in Aprilso it is clear that your performance will decline. However, it is still quite likely to give very good results at least during the next two years, in addition – and that is an essential factor – to be infinitely cheaper than the side of Girona, although its salary is much higher.
Atlético is being Very careful with the choice of the left side. The Cholo gave his opinion for a long time and stressed a name above that of others, but it is not being easy to overcome the Petitions of Girona and then the blockade of Real Madrid, which does not want under any circumstances to see in the Metropolitan to a player trained in his own quarry. With Robertson, of course, conflicts would be avoided.
