Liverpool are now preparing for an £80m transfer spree, all aimed at replacing Andy Robertson.
After nearly a decade as one of Liverpool’s most reliable players, this summer could mark the end of the Scotland international’s time at Anfield.

Robertson’s contract expires at the end of next season and there is little sign that a new deal is imminent. In fact, the club even considered selling him to Tottenham Hotspur for a fee in January, suggesting his departure on a free transfer in the summer is all but guaranteed.
Robertson’s energy, leadership and attacking prowess have made him one of the best left-backs in Europe for several seasons, but there is no denying that his power has waned in recent seasons.
This summer feels like a good time to part ways, even though we will miss him terribly. Not only because of his performance on the field, but also because of his character in the locker room.
Liverpool’s planned move to replace him could end up being a mad move. We haven’t really seen anything like this at Anfield.

Even when the Reds spend huge sums of money, it is always for a carefully planned goal, who they believe in and who justifies the huge price. However, the club’s latest reported move does not fall into that category.
According to Sports Boom, Liverpool are ready to move for Inter Milan’s Federico Di Marco if Robertson leaves the club.
The Italy international has developed into one of the most dangerous attacking full-backs in Europe during his time at Inter Milan.
Before he left the Italian giants, he had established himself as a superb crosser and creator, particularly in Simon Inzaghi’s clever tactical setup.

At 28, he is entering his prime and already has experience playing at the highest level in Serie A and European competitions. Liverpool recruiters are believed to appreciate his attacking threat and ability to contribute goals and assists from the wing.
