Atlético de Madrid has a clear priority to strengthen their left wing this summer: Andrew Robertson. However, due to the complexity of finalizing his signing, the rojiblanco club is already considering alternatives. In this scenario, the name of Lucas Digne has gained strength as the main plan B. The French full-back, currently at Aston Villa, emerges as a real option if the colchonero team fails to reach a favorable agreement with Liverpool.

The operation for Robertson is not progressing at the expected pace. Atlético only contemplates his incorporation if it can be done for a nominal amount or for free, which has hindered negotiations. In the meantime, Digne, contracted until 2026 and with a less prominent role under Unai Emery's leadership, is shaping up as a more viable option. Although he has been consistent this season in terms of minutes—over 3,000 in 45 matches—his departure would not pose an insurmountable obstacle for the English club.

Atlético de Madrid has its eye on Lucas Digne

The defensive context of Atlético demands urgent actions. With Reinildo and Javi Galán below their best form, and with the imminent departure of Reinildo, the left-back position is critical in the summer planning. Diego Simeone seeks competition and experience to reinforce that area, and Digne, at 31 years old, meets both requirements.

The Madrid club continues to work to optimize its budget and make smart decisions in the market. If the Robertson deal falls through, the Frenchman could quickly become the solution. The sports management has taken note and keeps the radar active. The margin for maneuver is limited, and Atlético cannot afford mistakes in such a crucial position.
