Manchester City are reportedly interested in 27-year-old Fulham defender Antonee Robinson, a target for Liverpool.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Manchester City are plotting a January move for United States international Antonee Robinson. However, the Premier League champions could face competition from Liverpool for the Fulham full-back.
Robinson has done quite well for the West London club, and his performances have attracted the attention of the big clubs. Manchester City need a specialist full-back, and he would be a quality acquisition for them.
The Premier League champions have been using Josko Gvardiol as their first-choice left-back. The Croat is more suited to a central role and Pep Guardiola will need to bring in a quality left-back. It will be interesting to see if Manchester City decide to submit an offer for the American international in the coming weeks.
Robinson could certainly be tempted to move to Manchester City. The Premier League champions are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have a proven track record when it comes to pushing for trophies regularly. Any player would be attracted to the idea of joining them.
Liverpool keen on Robinson
Liverpool are also keen on the Fulham defender, who pockets £50,000-a-week wages. They need to bring in a quality long-term replacement for Andrew Robertson, who will approach the twilight stage of his career in the coming years. The Scottish international has regressed in recent months, and he will need to be replaced in the near future.
It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs can get the deal done. Both clubs will be attractive destinations for the player, and they can hike his £50,000-a-week wages. Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world as well, and they are currently pushing for the league title and the Champions League trophy.
Both clubs have the financial muscle to afford the American defender as well, and it will be interesting to see if they can negotiate a deal with Fulham. The West London club will not want to sell a prized asset like Robinson easily, and they will demand around £40 million for him. It remains to be seen whether the English clubs are ready to break the bank for him.
