Liverpool Transfer News – Real Madrid identify Andy Robertson as a potential left-back target
According to Daily Mail, Real Madrid has placed Liverpool’s Andy Robertson on their summer shortlist for left-back options. Daily Mail further reports that Madrid feels a deal in the £40M range would be enough to complete a transfer. It is a little hard to believe that Liverpool would accept a fee so low but Madrid’s interest in Robertson makes sense. The 14-time Champions League winners want to bring in a left-back this summer.
Ferland Mendy got injured mid-way through the season and midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has been thrown into the left-back spot for Madrid. Robertson would be a phenomenal option for Los Blancos but it is difficult imagining the Scotsman leaving Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

Ten Hag intends to add in the midfield and United feel confident in being able to sign Mason Mount. To date, Liverpool has been regarded as the front-runner for Mason Mount.
