Andy Robertson will remain at Liverpool for the time being. The club has decided not to let the left back leave, despite talks with Tottenham Hotspur about a winter transfer. That writing, among other things The Times in The Athletic.
Tottenham Hotspur were willing to pay around £5 million to secure his services. However, Liverpool kept the deal conditional on finding a replacement. AS Roma is not cooperating with an early return of Kostas Tsimikas, which means that Robertson’s departure is now off the table, according to the English media.
According to The Athletic, Robertson himself never insisted on the transfer and will continue to play a role in Arne Slot’s team in the near future. In the loss on Saturday evening, visiting Bournemouth, the Scot was allowed to come on at half-time. Robertson has been under contract with Liverpool since 2017. At the time they took him over from Hull City for nine million euros.
The Reds have therefore pulled the plug on the transfer, but Tottenham Hotspur had the idea that an agreement in principle had been reached with Liverpool about the transfer, The Times writes. The 31-year-old has been in the interest of Spurs for some time, but initially as a transfer free player. Due to Ben Davies’ injury, interest suddenly became concrete.
