Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson has hinted he would be open to atransfer amid ongoing links with Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City.
Robinson has impressed with Fulham since the club’s most recent return to the Premier League in 2022, which has led to suggestions he could provide a targeted boost to a bigger club.
At 27, Robinson is perhaps at the peak of his powers right now, having started out at Everton but worked his way up to the top level by grafting on loan at Bolton Wanderers and Wigan Athletic in the Championship. It was also in the second tier that he really came into his own for Fulham.
Liverpool's Andy Robertson will turn 31 in early 2025, while Manchester United have endured an injury nightmare with Luke Shaw, and Manchester City are on the cusp of a major rebuild.
Even Real Madrid have been speculatively linked, with Robinson likely a cheaper option than Alphonso Davies in the long run, even though the Canadian would join as a free agent.
"I'm very happy here," Robinson stated, via Marca, before revealing a willingness to move.
"The fact that there is interest from other teams is great," he added.
"Obviously, it all comes down to whether someone wants me enough to pay what Fulham would ask. So, if the club sees it as a good idea, I would leave."

Robinson, a United States international eligible through his father's citizenship, is third in the Premier League assist charts so far this season, with six to his name behind only Bukayo Saka (ten) and Mohamed Salah (eight). But it is his defensive ability that has caught the eye of Fulham boss Marco Silva.
"He never stops going up and down and, on top of that, in attack, he is decisive," Silva said following Fulham’s admirable 2-2 draw against Liverpool last weekend.
"He is a great athlete, but I would highlight, above all, the way in which he has been improving in our defensive process. He had to defend many one-on-one situations with Salah and, despite having a yellow card since the 27th minute, he was brave and aggressive, in a good way."
