Liverpool line-up insane €75m transfer

Liverpool are now lining up what will be an insane £80m transfer, all to replace Andy Robertson.

After almost a decade as one of Liverpool’s most reliable performers, this summer could mark the end of Scottish international's time at Anfield.

Robertson's contract expires at the end of next season, and there has been little indication that a new deal is close. In fact the club even considered selling him for a fee in January to Tottenham, which suggests a departure is pretty much guaranteed on a free transfer come the summer.

Robertson's energy, leadership and attacking output made him one of the best left-backs in Europe for several seasons but there is no denying that his powers have faded in recent campaigns.

This summer feels like the right time to part ways, although he will be sorely missed. Not just for his quality on the pitch but for his character in the dressing room.

What Liverpool are planning to do to replace him though could end up being an insane transfer. The likes of which we haven't really seen at Anfield.

Even when the Reds spend big, it's always for calculated targets, who they believe in and who justify a massive price. However, the club's latest reported move does not fit into this category.

According to Sports Boom, Liverpool are ready to make a move for Federico Dimarco of Inter Milan if Robertson leaves the club.

The Italian international has developed into one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking full-backs during his time with Inter.

He has established himself as a brilliant crosser and creator, especially in Simone Inzaghi's clever tactical set-up, prior to him leaving the Italian giants.

At 28-years-old, he is entering his prime and already has experience competing at the highest level in both Serie A and European competition. Liverpool’s recruitment staff are believed to admire his attacking threat and ability to contribute goals and assists from wide areas.

Obviously, for the right price, this makes a lot of sense.

However, Sports Boom report that Liverpool will have to make a minimum offer in the €75m–€80m range in order for Inter to even consider selling Di Marco.

This would be insane considering his current deal expires in 2027 at Inter and he is nearing 30-years-old. Sure, he may be one of the best full-backs in Europe right now but to pay that kind of fee for a player in his situation would be utter stupidity from Hughes.

If the report is to be believed, this would be the kind of unnecessary frivolous spending that just would not make sense.

Liverpool could use that money so much better by investing in other areas of the squad. Especially, because they already have Milos Kerkez as their first-choice left-back, they don't even really need Dimarco, especially not for €75m–€80m.

It would be utter nonsense.
