Atletico Madrid will reportedly scout Celtic’s Kieran Tierney this weekend.
According to The Scottish Sun, Spanish giants Atletico Madrid will scout Celtic defender Kieran Tierney in this weekend’s Scottish Cup final against Motherwell.
Celtic have already tied up the Scottish Premiership title and the Scottish League Cup, with this weekend’s Scottish Cup final handing Brendan Rodgers the chance to clinch a second straight domestic treble.
Whether Celtic win or not, some of their top players will be in demand this summer, with Tom Rogic and Moussa Dembele certainly set to attract interest from rival clubs.
Now, The Scottish Sun report that Atletico Madrid will send representation to Hampden Park this weekend in order to watch left back Kieran Tierney.
Tierney, 20, has come up through the ranks with Celtic and has now racked up more than 125 appearances for the club, whilst winning three league titles for the Bhoys.
The left back, who now has nine caps for Scotland, is one of the top young players in his position in Europe, and a host of top clubs – such as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur – are thought to be keen.
Atletico have Filipe Luis at left back but he suffered a broken leg in March, whilst deputy Lucas Hernandez is more comfortable at centre back, so it would be little surprise to see Diego Simeone’s men target Tierney this summer to bolster their left back options.
