Atletico Madrid are reportedly considering Aston Villa’s French left-back Lucas Digne as a potential transfer target for that position this summer.
The Spanish giants seem keen to strengthen the left-hand side of their defence, with Digne emerging as an alternative to Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson in that role.
CaughtOffside have also reported today on Arsenal left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko being another name on Atletico’s radar.
It remains to be seen precisely how this will all pan out, but Fabrizio Romano posted the update below to his official page on X, linking Digne, 31, as another target for Diego Simeone’s side this summer…

Will Aston Villa sell Lucas Digne to Atletico Madrid?
One imagines this deal will hinge on Robertson’s situation, as reports seem to suggest that the Reds left-back is Atletico’s preferred target.
Still, it will also be interesting to see if Villa agree to sell someone like Digne, who has mostly been a pretty key player for them in recent times.
