A claim has been made that Real Madrid are unlikely to complete a transfer for Andy Robertson from Liverpool.
This comes from journalist Rudy Galetti, as it was reported on Wednesday that Jurgen Klopp’s side would only sanction his exit for a fee well in excess of £40 million.
However, it seems like Real Madrid have no chance of getting a transfer over the line for Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson.
Andy Robertson to Real Madrid transfer ruled out
The £10 million (BBC Sport) has been a mainstay for the Reds since signing for the club in 2017, establishing his reputation as arguably the best player in his position in the world.
However, murmurs about an exit began as Robertson’s stock has fallen this season and Los Blancos were desperate to find an upgrade for Ferland Mendy.
But it seems like a transfer to Real Madrid is not in the cards for Andy Robertson, with journalist Rudy Galetti claiming that there have been ‘no talks’ till date between the club and Liverpool.
The Scottish captain is still considered a ‘key player’ by Jurgen Klopp, heading into next season.
It would be foolish for Liverpool to even consider a sale
While Andy Robertson has been miles off his brilliant best this season, sanctioning a transfer to Real Madrid would have been an absurd decision from Liverpool.
Form is not always the barometer of a player’s quality and world-class performers are allowed to have dips in performances, as seen with the fall and rise of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Since joining the Merseyside-based side, Robertson has been widely hailed for his completeness, both in attack and in defence.
With Liverpool expected to strengthen in the transfer market this summer as well as players likely to recapture their form, letting Robertson go would be a daft decision, as he could well reclaim his throne as the best in the world next campaign.
