European regulars and Turkish champions Galatasaray are reportedly interested in signing 30-year-old Liverpool mainstay Andrew Robertson this summer.
According to a report by Turkish outlet Aspor, Andrew Robertson is the subject of interest from Galatasaray. The European regulars and Turkish champions are keen on bolstering their backline by signing a left-back before the summer transfer window shuts down. The Liverpool mainstay, valued at around €30 million, has thus emerged as a target.
Andrew Robertson and his Liverpool journey
Andrew Robertson has established himself as one of the best players in the Premier League since joining Liverpool from Hull City in July 2017. The Scot was a promising left-back seven years ago, although the Merseyside club’s move seemed like a gamble, considering the Tigers were in the EFL Championship.
However, Robertson has proven his quality time and again in the last seven years, helping Liverpool win almost every major trophy during the period. The 30-year-old has turned out nearly 300 times thus far for the Merseyside outfit while chipping in with 11 goals and 65 assists.
But Robertson’s long-term future at Anfield is uncertain amid emerging links with several high-profile clubs across Europe. Recent reports have linked the Scottish international with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. The latest update has suggested the veteran left-back is a target for Galatasaray.
Turkish adventure beckons?
Galatasaray’s interest in Andrew Robertson is understandable. Okan Buruk does not have many left-backs in his squad, with the group having only one recognised player for the position. So, it behoves the Turkish champions to dip their toes in the market for a left-back, with the Liverpool defensive mainstay emerging as a viable target.
The European regulars are exploring a summer move for the 30-year-old Scotsman, with an approach on the cards. However, Robertson will not come cheap, with the report pointing to Liverpool setting a price tag of around €30 million to part ways with him in the summer transfer window.
Despite Andrew Robertson’s advancing age, a price tag of €30 million is fair, considering his value and qualities. However, it will be interesting to see if Galatasaray will meet Liverpool’s asking price for the Scotland international before the summer transfer window shuts down.
