As per football transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Robertson is keen on joining Atletico and initial talks have already started.

Atletico consider Robertson as their priority. Here's more.

Atletico Madrid are looking to bolster their left-back position, with Reinildo and Cesar Azpilicueta both out of contract this summer.

While Azpilicueta is likely to leave after the Club World Cup, Reinildo's future remains uncertain.
