Crystal Palace’s left-back Tiric Mitchell is reportedly a target on Atletico Madrid’s list this summer, as Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson is also in that position.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that Robertson is Atletico’s top target at left back, and in his X post, it appears below…
Romano points out that it’s not necessarily an easy deal for Atletico, but that may be why there are talks about them looking at alternatives now.
According to Fichajes, the player for La Liga Giants is Palace Ace Mitchell, who has signed a contract at Selhurst Park this summer.
From Tyrick Mitchell or Andrew Robertson to Atletico Madrid?
Both Mitchell and Robertson look like a great option to consider when the Diego Simeone aspect is.
Robertson is probably an overall good player, even if he’s not younger, as he has a great career at Anfield.
Scotland International may be difficult for Atletico to close the deal, but Mitchell is easy as he is a free agent.
Mitchell vs Robertson Statistical Comparison
For good Datamb data, we show how these two left backs compare.
As you can see, the pair are actually quite different players, and Robertson is clearly more offensive than Mitchell, who is much more solid defensively.
Atletico’s reported preference for Robertson suggests that they want their ability to bomb forward and crucify the box.
Still, Mitchell may be able to add that to his game if he is at another club, as Palace and Liverpool are so different.
