Barcelona utility Sergi Roberto on Atletico Madrid radar

Barcelona utility Sergi Roberto is attracting interest from LaLiga champions Atletico Madrid.

Goal says Atletico are monitoring Roberto's situation. They consider him a 'market opportunity,' but not a priority as they look to strengthen this summer.

Atletico are looking to improve at right-back following the departure of Kieran Trippier in January. Aston Villa's Matty Cash, Mallorca's Pablo Maffeo and Valencia's Thierry Correia have also been linked.

Barça are aware that Roberto wants to stay at the club and has still not committed to any other team as a result. However, early negotiations saw the two parties miles apart on any sort of agreement.

The 30-year-old is currently sidelined after undergoing surgery.
