Bayern Munich have identified Andy Robertson as a prime transfer target as it is believed that Alphonso Davies will move to Real Madrid.
The Canadian left-back has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the Spanish giants to join them either at the end of this season or when his contract expires in 2025.
Bayern have their work cut out in retaining their Bundesliga title this season as the Xabi Alonso led Bayer Leverkusen is currently eight points clear.
Losing a key member of their squad will come as a major blow, but they have a drawn up a number of options and as the Daily Mail reports, the Liverpool left-back has been earmarked as a key option.
Robertson is a club favourite with players and fans alike, one of those players that is the true heart and soul of the club that identifies with everyone.
Not only is he incredibly respected, the Scottish captain has proven to be one of the most dependable and durable players of the Klopp era.
The only substantial injury that the 30 year-old has suffered during his seven seasons on Merseyside was this season which ironically occurred on international duty when he collided with Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simon dislocating his shoulder in the process.
Robertson missed the best part of three months and over 20 games, by far his longest forced lay-off in Liverpool colours.
Jurgen Klopp has looked to not overburden the left-back since his return to full fitness, knowing that he is such a whole hearted competitor who goes 100 miles a hour from the first whistle.
The outstanding body of work that Robertson has produced for the Reds is the reason that Bayern see him as the perfect replacement for Davies.
Despite being seven years older, they are hoping that with Klopp calling time and possibly other long term players possibly considering their futures, Robertson may fancy a change of scenery.
However this prevailing view from the outside that this outstanding squad built by Klopp will follow their manager quickly out the exit door is certainly not seen by the man himself.
Klopp recently said “ Write what you want. This club is stable, 100%. Everything will be fine, I'm 100% sure."
The current contract of Robertson runs out in 2026, and what we know about the man it is hard to see him play for any other club until his latter years as a professional when a move to boyhood club Celtic could possibly be on the cards.
But the Football landscape has rarely been more unpredictable as this present time. Who ever believed that captain Jordan Henderson would depart to play in a Saudi League or Jurgen Klopp announce that he will be moving on at the conclusion of this season when we thought we had many more years together.
Liverpool without Andy Robertson will almost be as hard to contemplate as Jurgen departing and fingers crossed it doesn’t come to that just yet.
