According to journalists, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement in principle over Andy Robertson’s transfer, with the base fee plus add-ons totalling around £5 million. However, neither Liverpool nor Robertson himself has given the deal final approval yet.
Journalists stated that Liverpool will only sell Robertson if they can find a replacement, and the player will only agree to leave on the same condition. Liverpool currently cannot recall Konstantinos Tsimikas, as there is no recall clause in his loan contract with Roma. Roma will only approve Tsimikas’ departure if they sign a replacement left-back. Roma’s £7 million offer for David Wolfs has been rejected by Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the Serie A club is continuing to explore other options.
Both Liverpool and Robertson are remaining calm about the current situation. But if Roma signs a new left-back, Tottenham’s move to sign the Scottish international is likely to be revived; otherwise, Robertson will stay at Anfield. Robertson’s professionalism has been widely recognized, and he was told earlier this week that the planned transfer to Tottenham, which was set to go through after the Champions League match against Qarabağ FK, cannot proceed for the time being.
In the final days of the transfer window, the success of Robertson’s transfer to Tottenham all depends on whether Roma secures a new left-back.
