Andy Robertson makes decision on leaving Liverpool for Atletico Madrid
Andy Robertson's stance on leaving Anfield has been revealed with Atletico Madrid determined to sign the Liverpool legend. An ever-present for the Reds since signing from Hull City in 2017 for just £8.5million, Robertson is considered one of the Premier League's greatest defenders. The left-back's trophy cabinet includes two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the Club World Cup. After blossoming under Jurgen Klopp, the Scotland captain continued to perform well under Arne Slot last season, though his offensive influence dropped significantly, recording no goals and just two assists in 45 appearances. Liverpool have been looking at long-term replacements for the 31-year-old and appear to have found their man, with Milos Kerkex expected to join from AFC Bournemouth. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. As a result, Robertson's future at Anfield is up in the air, especially as he's entered the final year of his contract. It has now been reported by various outlets that Atletico have made Robertson a top target, with Diego Simeone needing a new left-back. Reinildo and Cesar Azpilicueta are both out of contract this summer and the Madrid club recently dropped their interest in AC Milan's Theo Hernandez. More Trending And, according to Fabrizio Romano, Robertson is indeed keen on joining the La Liga giants who are currently in the USA for the revamped Club World Cup, and talks over a transfer have already begun. Simeone has targeted several notable Premier League stars over the past few years, signing Azpilicueta and Conor Gallagher from Chelsea and Julian Alvarez from Manchester City Should he make the move, the Scot will directly come up against his former Reds teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold who has just completed his transfer to Real Madrid. Earlier this week, Robertson said there had been positive talks with Liverpool over his future, but he is still unclear what is ahead for him. 'We've had good discussions, me and the club, but what the future holds, I'm not sure,' he told Sky Sports. 'All I know is I fly off on holiday and it's well needed. I need a rest after a long season, and then I look forward to pre-season. That's all my focus is. 'I know the position I'm in, I know I've only got a year left. A lot's getting spoken about it, a lot's getting said, but my pure focus is focussing on being a dad for the next couple of weeks and enjoying that time with the kids.' Read the full quotes here.

How did every team qualify for the Club World Cup?
THE Club World Cup is set to return in the summer, with a brand new format for the 32 qualifiers. The new-look tournament will take place over in the US between June 14 and July 13. 8 8 Clubs from all over the world will compete, with 12 from Uefa, six from CONMEBOL, four from Concacaf, CAF, and AFC respectively, and one from USA and one from OFC. Some big names will miss the tournament, with Liverpool and Barcelona among some of the names watching this one from home. SunSport can reveal how every side qualified for the tournament. Uefa qualifiers Uefa was given 12 slots for the Club World Cup, with four going to Champions League winners, and another eight going to the highest ranked Uefa sides. Champions League winning qualifiers: The rules dictate that only two clubs from one country can qualify by ranking, but with two English sides already in the competition, Liverpool miss out. Barcelona also miss out, as only one Spanish side was eligible for qualification. Ranking qualifiers: Bayern Munich (Germany) PSG (France) Borussia Dortmund (Germany) Inter (Italy) Porto (Portugal) Atletico Madrid (Spain) Benfica (Portugal) Juventus (Italy) RB Salzburg (Austria) 8 Host qualifiers As is the case with an international tournament, the host nation automatically qualified for the event. However, the inclusion of Inter Miami has come with controversy. LA Galaxy won the MLS play-offs and the MLS Cup, but were not awarded the spot. Instead, Fifa decided the winners of the MLS Supporters' Shield, Inter Miami, would qualify. The MLS Supporters' Shield is awarded to the team with the best record after 34 games in a regular MLS season - Inter Miami were the best, with 74 points. 8 Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) qualifier OFC only got one spot, determined by the OFC Champions League, which Auckland City FC have won 11 times in 14 years. CONMEBOL qualifiers CONMEBOL had six slots, with the winners of the Copa Libertadores qualifying, and two others via selection. Copa Libertadores: Palmeiras (Brazil) - 2021 Flamengo (Brazil) - 2022 Fluminense (Brazil) - 2023 Botafogo (Brazil) - 2024 CONMEBOL ranking qualifier: River Plater (Argentina) Club World Cup rankings: Boca Juniors (Argentina) 8 Concacaf qualifiers Four teams from Concacaf qualified either by winning the Concacaf Champions League, or by winning a play in*. Concacaf Champions League: Monterrey (Mexico) - 2021 Seattle Sounders (USA) - 2022 Pachuca (Mexico) - 2024 Play-in winners: LAFC *Liga MX's Leon won the 2023 Concacaf Champions League, but were disqualified by FIFA for violating the club ownership structure rules. 8 Confederation of African Football (CAF) qualifiers There were two ways teams from CAF qualified, either by winning the CAF Champions League, or through the CAF rankings. CAF Champions League: Al Ahly (Egypt) - 2021, 2023, 2024 Wydad AC (Morocco) - 2022 CAF rankings: ES Tunis (Tunisia) Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa) 8 Asian Football Federation (AFC) qualifiers Four Asian sides qualified by winning the AFC Champions League, or by the AFC rankings. AFC Champions League: Al-Hilal (Saudi Arabia) - 2021 Urawa Red Diamonds (Japan) - 2022 Al Ain (UAE) - 2023 As the competition was re-branded, there were only three winners during the qualifying period. As a result, the fourth spot went to the highest ranked side: Ulsan HD (South Korea) 8 When does the Club World Cup 2025 start and how can I watch it? The Club World Cup starts on June 15 with the final taking place on July 13. All the action is available on DAZN. There are also 23 matches being shown on free-to-air Channel 5 across the tournament.
