LIVERPOOL will reportedly raid the transfer market once the window opens in January as they are reportedly looking to sign a left-back who would be a long-term replacement for star defender Andy Robertson, according to Caughtoffside.
Robertson, who joined the Reds from Hull City in 2017 and was an integral part of the squad that won multiple trophies under Jurgen Klopp, has a contract at Anfield until 2026, but the club are preparing for his potential exit from Merseyside.
The Merseyside club have added a few names to their shortlist which includes Fulham’s Antonee Robinson and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, and Alphonso Davies, with the Bayern Munich star a player that they could sign for free at the end of the season.
Alphonso Davies is a player that has the ability to play in a number of positions, and has been on the radar of the Premier League for quite a few seasons, but clubs have never been able to get a transfer deal done.
However Davies is open to leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season as his current deal with the Bundesliga giants is running out, and Bayern are open to letting him leave the club as they dont want to pay his massive wage demands.
And according to the latest reports, Real Madrid will be able to hold talks with Davies in the January window in hope that they come to an agreement on whether or not he signs at the end of the season
The news comes after Liverpool were recently urged to sign Davies by pundit Danny Murphy, Speaking to BetBrain, ex-Liverpool midfielder said: “Considering what Andy Robertson has done for LIVERPOOL and the level of performances he’s delivered over the years, he’s now in the conversation when people talk about the best left-backs Liverpool have ever had.
‘There’s been some incredible left-backs in some unbelievable Liverpool teams, so let’s praise him for what he’s done in his career – he’s a winner and a phenomenal player.
“However, I don’t think Konstantinos Tsimikas is ever going to replace Robertson or play instead of him on a consistent basis, so I think Robertson and Liverpool would benefit from him having real competition at left-back and for Arne Slot to look long-term at the position.”
“There’d be plenty of competition, but Alphonso Davies is out of contract at Bayern Munich in the summer.
‘If you’re looking for a left-back that ticks every box in terms of one-on-one defending, threat going forward, pace and physicality, he would be the obvious choice for Liverpool.”
