Returns have been in vogue at Celtic in recent times. Brendan Rodgers was unexpectedly brought back for a second stint as manager despite the circumstances in which the first run ended. Jota returned merely 18 months after leaving. Kieran Tierney is also back, having spent six years at Arsenal. A pre-contract is believed to be in place with Ross Doohan as well. Other than that, Kyogo and Odsonne Edouard have both been linked with potential homecomings.
There is another player who has been loosely linked with a move to Celtic for some time now. Someone who has openly admitted that he would love to play for the club one day.
Andy Robertson was at Celtic during his youth days and grew up supporting the Hoops. Unfortunately, he left before ever making it to the senior level and has gone on to establish himself as a legend down south at Liverpool.
Now 31 years of age, there is not much time left for him to fulfil his dream of playing for Celtic one day. Even this summer, there has been some speculation about a move to Parkhead despite Tierney’s arrival. But right now, it looks like a switch to Atletico Madrid is a lot more likely.
Sky Sports confirm Liverpool news amid Celtic return talks
As reported by Sky Sports, Atletico Madrid are interested in Robertson. The Scottish international has emerged as a target for the La Liga side as he heads into the final year of his contract at Anfield.
In recent times, we have seen quite a few legends leave Liverpool. Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Trent Alexander-Arnold come to mind immediately. Could Robertson be next?
Also, if he does end up joining Atletico Madrid, what would that mean for his chances of playing for Celtic one day? It would surely not help them. It would mean that he would be even older when, or if, he becomes available as a free agent. And that is the only way one can see the Hoops signing a Premier League legend who is past 30 years of age already.
