Overview
- The clubs had discussed a fee of about £5m and a move after Liverpool’s midweek Champions League game before Liverpool ended talks.
- Arne Slot’s back line is depleted with Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni out for the season, Joe Gomez injured, and Ibrahima Konaté unavailable.
- Liverpool explored bringing back Kostas Tsimikas from his Roma loan, and Roma director Frederic Massara confirmed ongoing dialogue.
- Robertson has not agitated for an exit and came on at half-time in Saturday’s 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth.
- Keeping him preserves depth but risks losing a transfer fee in the summer as his contract nears expiry, with the situation described as off for now but subject to late-window change if cover is secured.
