Liverpool Are Reportedly Unconcerned About The Future Of Andy Robertson Despite Interest From Bayern Munich
Liverpool appear unfazed by Bayern Munich’s interest in left-back Andy Robertson ahead of the summer transfer window. The German champions have reportedly identified the Scotland international as their top choice to replace Alphonso Davies, who is rumored to have agreed verbally to join Real Madrid.
Despite Bayern’s interest and Robertson’s seven successful years at Anfield, Liverpool believe the 29-year-old will see out his contract, which still has over two years remaining. Despite suffering a serious shoulder injury earlier in the season, Robertson remains a crucial part of Jurgen Klopp’s plans.
Football Insider reports that Liverpool are confident they can fend off Bayern’s interest and retain Robertson’s services for the foreseeable future.
The Reds are reportedly confident that Robertson has no inclination to move to the Allianz Arena, and they don’t anticipate Klopp’s departure affecting his decision.
Robertson, who started his career at Queen’s Park and Dundee United, joined Liverpool from Hull City in the summer of 2017. Since then, he has contributed nine goals and 64 assists in 282 appearances for the club.
The 29-year-old has been instrumental in the Premier League, providing 58 assists, the joint-most of any defender in the league’s history. Only his teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold has matched this tally.
During his time at Liverpool, Robertson has won an impressive seven trophies, including two EFL Cups, as well as the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and Community Shield.
Despite his injury setback earlier in the season, which sidelined him for three months after dislocating his shoulder while playing for Scotland, Robertson has managed one goal and one assist in 15 appearances in the 2023-24 campaign.
Robertson missed Wednesday’s 3-0 FA Cup fifth-round victory over Southampton due to illness, and Klopp couldn’t confirm his availability for the upcoming Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest.
Although Robertson is expected to remain at Anfield, Liverpool face the prospect of losing Joel Matip when his contract expires at the end of the season. However, Klopp hinted at the possibility of offering Matip a new deal following his season-ending ACL injury.
On the other hand, players like Rhys Williams, Nat Phillips, and Sepp van den Berg could leave the club permanently. As a result, Liverpool have reportedly prioritized defensive signings for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Liverpool currently hold a one-point lead at the top of the table ahead of their visit to Nottingham Forest’s City Ground. Notably, they have failed to win any of their previous six Premier League fixtures at this venue.
