Fulham will demand at least £40 million to consider selling Liverpool and Manchester United target Antonee Robinson in the summer.
According toFootball Insider, Fulham have reportedly set a £40 million asking price for star left-back Antonee Robinson. The USMNT star has attracted massive interest, with Manchester United and Liverpool in the mix for the full-back.
Antonee Robinson is set to court massive interest from some of the top clubs during the summer, with some even keen on a January transfer. Fulham had no definitive need to sell their star left-back and might only consider offers in the summer if suitors can meet their asking price.
With Robinson tied until 2028, Fulham are reportedly set to demand at least £40 million to sell the 27-year-old Premier League defender in the summer.Liverpool is one of those eager to make an offer, although it remains to be seen whether they value the player for the £40 million price tag mooted.
Liverpool view Robinson as a replacement for Kostas Tsimikas, with the latter poised to leave as he seeks to play as a regular starter elsewhere. The Reds are in the market for a new left-back and have considered the Fulham star a definitive option ahead of the summer, although he’s not the only one on their shortlist.
In fact, Liverpool prefers signingBournemouth’s Milos Kerkez over Robinson, given that the Hungarian is much younger and has already proven his worth this season. In any case, Arne Slot will be eager to land a new left-back, and Robinson remains firmly on Liverpool’s shortlist of targets.
Manchester United to rival Liverpool for Antonee Robinson
Manchester United signed Patrick Dorgu in January, with the Dane starting as the left wing-back after his arrival. Rumours have linked them to Robinson and other left-backs, which might indicate that the club is keen to recruit another player in that position.
Could this recruitment come at the cost of some existing players leaving? It is quite possible, given that Luke Shaw has suffered another injury-riddled season, and it could be an option to leave. Ruben Amorim seeks strong reinforcements in any case, although they might face a task to cough up the £40 million asking price for the 27-year-old Fulham star.
