Liverpool could still sell one of their most experienced players before the window shuts
Liverpool have less than a week remaining to complete any transfer business as the February 2 deadline looms.
The Reds, along with their Premier League rivals, have until 7pm on Monday to complete any incoming or outgoing deals.
Any new senior arrivals are highly unlikely at this stage of the window but some exits could still be sanctioned in the final days of the month.
Experienced left-back Andy Robertson was close to joining rivals Tottenham Hotspur after an agreement in principle was reached for the Scotland international to join the North London club.
The defender only has six months to run on his deal at Anfield and it was reported he would be heading to Spurs for just £5m, as he was keen to move somewhere he could play more minutes ahead of the World Cup this summer.
Roma made a bid for Wolves defender David Moller Wolfe. That was worth £6.9m and according to Sky Sports “this was rejected and considered derisory by the West Midlands club and they do not expect Roma to return.”
Robertson’s exit was described as being highly unlikely a few days ago but it may still happen if other agreements to fall into place - and in a fresh twist, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano insists the deal is not yet completely off.
“Let's clarify, Roma want to sign a new left-back, Wolfe from Wolves could be a possibility, then Roma to allow Tsimikas to go to Liverpool, and then Liverpool to allow Andy Robertson to go to Tottenham.
“This could be the domino. So, at the moment, there are still not all the agreements done, but the story remains one to watch, I think.
“At the moment it's in standby, but the deal is still not considered completely off. Robertson was open to moving to Tottenham, but all the agreements between all the clubs involved are still not done.
“So let's wait, I think Andy Robertson is still going to be a story in 2026, we will see if something happens in the final days of this window, or eventually in the summer transfer window when he's still expected to leave Liverpool and try a new chapter.
“Tottenham are interested, let's see what's going to happen there.”
