Liverpool are dealing with renewed uncertainty over Andy Robertson\u2019s future following a fresh update from Fabrizio Romano on Sunday.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The timing feels far from ideal. Saturday\u2019s 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth already had the air of a disorderly turning point \u2014 not just in terms of results, but in how thin Liverpool appear in key positions.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
That inevitably raises the uncomfortable question: could Bournemouth prove to be his final outing in a Liverpool shirt?<\/p>\n
No single Romano update allows that conclusion, but the phrase \u201ctalks still ongoing\u201d is enough to keep the story alive \u2014 and at the worst possible moment.<\/p>\n
Robertson to Tottenham: the latest as Liverpool consider their options<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The reasoning is simple, even if it\u2019s difficult to accept: Robertson wants to play.<\/p>\n
Liverpool, meanwhile, are already short of options, which makes any January departure feel like a significant risk.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot has offered little publicly when asked about Robertson\u2019s future, so clarity is unlikely to come through press conferences. That leaves Romano\u2019s wording as the update itself \u2014 negotiations ongoing, a fee being discussed, and no final decision yet.<\/p>\n
Robertson\u2019s Liverpool role and league output in 2025\/26<\/p>\n
Robertson\u2019s Premier League campaign has been defined by limited starts and brief appearances \u2014 exactly the type of scenario that can push an experienced player towards a move.<\/p>\n
Premier League 2025\/26 (via SofaScore):<\/p>\n
Appearances: 14<\/p>\n
Starts: 4<\/p>\n
Minutes played: 547<\/p>\n
Minutes per game: 39<\/p>\n
Assists: 0<\/p>\n
Big chances created: 2<\/p>\n
Key passes per game: 0.8<\/p>\n
Pass accuracy: 84% (21.6 accurate passes per game)<\/p>\n
Cross accuracy: 29% (0.6 accurate crosses per game)<\/p>\n
If Tottenham are offering him a clearer path to regular football, it\u2019s easy to see why discussions are taking place.<\/p>\n
But footballing logic and squad management are two different conversations.<\/p>\n
If Robertson leaves now, Liverpool must be sure they are not creating a bigger issue than the one they are trying to solve.<\/p>\n
And even if no deal is completed, Romano\u2019s update makes one thing clear: this situation is not fading away quietly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
