Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool's Andy Robertson replacement
Liverpool are preparing to SELL Andy Robertson to Tottenham.
The Reds’ long-serving full-back has been at Anfield since 2017 and his current contract runs out in summer 2026.
Therefore Richard Hughes the sporting director has decided to cash in on the Spurs offer - making Liverpool a tidy sum in the market and saving on the 31-year-old’s wages for the remainder of the season.
A deal is expected to go through quickly with Robertson desiring first-team football ahead of the FIFA World Cup for Scotland next summer.
Although the move might make sense for Robbo and for the club from a financial perspective it raises a question around squad depth.

Robertson out, Tsimikas in
Arne Slot is down to the bare bones in defence with Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley two long-term absentees.
Without Robertson the Premier League champions will be down to only FIVE senior defenders - Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.
But there are plans to fix up the squad with a new left-back.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Kostas Tsimikas will be making his way back to base for the second half of the season. The 29-year-old Greek joined Roma on a season-long loan deal last summer but it hasn’t gone too well.
Tsimikas isn’t a first pick for Gian Piero Gasperini and it looks like the Reds are going to break up the loan in order to add to their left-back options.
Fabrizio Romano confirms Tsimikas return
“Understand AS Roma have already given green light to Kostas Tsimikas return to Liverpool if Robertson joins Spurs,” Romano writes on X.
“It’s almost over between Tsimikas and Roma with LFC ready to welcome the left back again.
“No recall clause but club to club contact.”
Tsimikas may have thought he’d already played his last game for Liverpool. The left-back - who joined in 2020 - is out of contract in 2027 and was expected to leave on a permanent basis in summer 2026.
He will have a last-gasp reprieve to forge a Liverpool future for himself - as £40m signing Kerkez’s understudy.
