AC Milan are looking to add some experience and leadership to their squad this summer, which could make Andrew Robertson a target.
Massimiliano Allegri’s team are looking to secure qualification for next season’s Champions League, keeping a narrow door open for a potential Scudetto comeback against Inter. In the meantime, the club are already hard at work on the transfer market.
The directors will have a variety of areas to address, especially those related to the centre-forward and centre-back positions, but there will also be room for evaluations of other roles.
Robertson a potential name?
According to Calciomercato.com, the left flank could see movement. When Theo Hernandez left, the starting spot had been entrusted to Pervis Estupinan but he was ousted by the young Davide Bartesaghi. Thus, the Ecuadorian could leave after one year, despite his derby heroics.
The possible arrival a new signing could follow, and among the names circulating is that of Andrew Robertson. He has been linked to the Rossoneri several times: rumours of interest surfaced from England last summer, and again in September, when the transfer window closed.
The 32-year-old’s contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the season and there is no prospect of a renewal at present. Milos Kerkez is the future in their eyes, and Arne Slot has increasingly relied on the Hungarian, who was at Milan.
Robertson therefore represents a potential free transfer opportunity, but there are other factors to consider. The first concerns the costs: the Scotsman’s gross salary at Liverpool is around €10m per year, which is over €5m net, which is considerable for a 32-year-old.
Then, there is competition. Tottenham made an attempt in January and could return to the fray this summer, as could other Premier League clubs in the coming months. The most romantic option is a return to Glasgow, to the Celtic team he supported as a child.
