What Fabrizio Romano has revealed about Andy Robertson’s ongoing discussions with Tottenham
Liverpool are dealing with renewed uncertainty over Andy Robertson’s future following a fresh update from Fabrizio Romano on Sunday.
Posting on X, Romano confirmed that talks between Liverpool and Tottenham are ongoing, with both clubs still negotiating the transfer fee after Spurs submitted an initial offer on Friday.
The timing feels far from ideal. Saturday’s 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth already had the air of a disorderly turning point — not just in terms of results, but in how thin Liverpool appear in key positions.
Robertson was introduced at half-time on the south coast and, despite the difficult circumstances, looked like a player still capable of making an immediate impact.
That inevitably raises the uncomfortable question: could Bournemouth prove to be his final outing in a Liverpool shirt?
No single Romano update allows that conclusion, but the phrase “talks still ongoing” is enough to keep the story alive — and at the worst possible moment.
Robertson to Tottenham: the latest as Liverpool consider their options
Robertson has been heavily linked with a move to Spurs over the past week, with David Ornstein reporting that it is a genuine, active possibility rather than distant summer speculation.
The reasoning is simple, even if it’s difficult to accept: Robertson wants to play.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are already short of options, which makes any January departure feel like a significant risk.
Arne Slot has offered little publicly when asked about Robertson’s future, so clarity is unlikely to come through press conferences. That leaves Romano’s wording as the update itself — negotiations ongoing, a fee being discussed, and no final decision yet.
Robertson’s Liverpool role and league output in 2025/26
Robertson’s Premier League campaign has been defined by limited starts and brief appearances — exactly the type of scenario that can push an experienced player towards a move.
Premier League 2025/26 (via SofaScore):
Appearances: 14
Starts: 4
Minutes played: 547
Minutes per game: 39
Assists: 0
Big chances created: 2
Key passes per game: 0.8
Pass accuracy: 84% (21.6 accurate passes per game)
Cross accuracy: 29% (0.6 accurate crosses per game)
If Tottenham are offering him a clearer path to regular football, it’s easy to see why discussions are taking place.
But footballing logic and squad management are two different conversations.
If Robertson leaves now, Liverpool must be sure they are not creating a bigger issue than the one they are trying to solve.
And even if no deal is completed, Romano’s update makes one thing clear: this situation is not fading away quietly.
