Report: Andy Robertson on top of Bayern Munich wish list to replace Alphonso Davies

[TLW]

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.

Interesting one, this.

 

Obviously he's a brilliant lad, which colours our view of him as fans, but honestly, if the price were right, I could see us accepting something for him. While he still brings value to our squad, his legs do seem to be starting to go and sometimes when that happens the player falls off a cliff quicker than we're ready to admit.

 

We will probably be looking for a starting-quality left back in the summer anyway, and if we had a good offer for Andy and we thought it could make the difference in being able to afford someone really good, I could see pulling the trigger on that and going with Tsimikas/Gomez/Beck as the depth options.

[Lee909]

Depends on the new manager and the way they want to set up. Also if he wants out. Can't see it, also wouldn't be shocked if its Alonso and wanted to bring someone more like Grimaldo in

Add Luke Chambers to the mix as well. Not sure what’s going on at Bayern. An ageing team in need of a rebuild/refresh looking at Robbo, not getting any younger, to replace much younger speedster Davies? Eric Dier, ffs?! 

[ZonkoVille77]

Stringvest!!!

[littletedwest]

Tough one for me. Still only 30, not injured often. Brilliant player and a leader on the pitch.

 

Maybe starting to go into decline but unless the money is daft I'd say no.

‘Musiala and Gnarby are very much at the top of mangerless Liverpools wish list for the upcoming summer horse trading shitfest, said Bruce Spanner, LFC superfan, before adding ‘fuck of you superior sausage eating shitfucks’

Unfortunately, I agree - I think at right price a sale should be considered. 

[joe_fishfish]

Makes zero sense for them unless they know who their manager is going to be next season and he’s stated he wants Robertson. 
 

From our side I would definitely consider a sale, Robbo is a legend but getting money for a 30 year old who is hugely reliant on his pace and stamina is always going to be good business.

[Jimmy Hills Chin]

I'd like to keep him but much as I love Andy I can't agree with this;

 

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.

 

Sorry but it's not even close

[Carra_is_legend]

I wouldn't want him to be sold at least for another year. He is one of the leaders in the team and we need all the leaders in the transition year after Jurgen leaves. 

[bossy]

I think we’ll need him for at least another year. I agree with @Carra_is_legend 

[sir roger]

Going to be down to the new manager isn’t it ?

 

the lad at Wolves keeps getting mentioned for us, Ait Nouri

[Dicko]

I hate this shit.

Stop worrying about it.

It's 95% Utter shite anyway.

[Mil-ing Around]

We'd be mad to sell any senior players on the back of Klopp and his staff going. You need leaders in the dressing room and experience of success. The next manager needs these guys around to make it as smooth as possible.

 

Van Dijk, Trent, Robertson, Alisson, Gomez should all be top priorities to keep at the club. I'd even say Salah should now stay but I think they'll cash in and maybe he wants to go anyway.

 

The next managers job is going to be hard enough as it is, replacing Klopp, selling any of these players will only make it 1000 times harder.

We are a much better team with Robertson in it than not.

 

Bayern can fuck off.

He’s still got a few years left here for us. Bayern can fuck off

Let's pick one example that led to nothing and extrapolate that Robbo is a 'problem.' Fuck off twitter blert.

The point being made by this respected professional football analyst - sorry, "twitter blert" - is that it's not an isolated example.

[3 Stacks]

We have a good mix of left backs and have two senior pros who can play the position other than him, so selling Robertson would not be the worst thing in the world.

[Lee909]

I doubt Robbo would chose to go or Bayern pay the fee we would want. He is at a age that you sell him now for a decent fee or you don't make money on him. 

 

Depends how the new manager wants to set up.
