Newcastle set sights on signing Liverpool legend

Newcastle United are said to be one of several clubs keeping an eye on Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson ahead of a possible summer move.

The Scotland international is approaching the final stages of his contract at Anfield following an outstanding spell with the club, but his role has diminished this season. Robertson has slipped down the pecking order, which previously prompted Tottenham Hotspur to explore a move for him during the January transfer window, as reported by The Athletic and other outlets.

Although the defender ultimately remained at Liverpool, fresh interest has now emerged, with TEAMtalk reporting that Newcastle are among the clubs monitoring his situation.

Andrew Robertson likely to leave Liverpool on a free transfer
A summer departure appears increasingly likely, with a new contract at Liverpool seeming improbable. Milos Kerkez has established himself as Arne Slot’s first-choice option at left-back, making a separation at the end of the season the most logical outcome for all involved.

Even if his exit is not the ending Robertson would have hoped for, his legacy at Liverpool is unquestionable. He has been a key figure in one of the club’s most successful eras and ranks among the finest defenders in their history.

Now 31, Robertson has collected two Premier League titles and a Champions League medal during his time on Merseyside, excelling as one of the most reliable performers under Jürgen Klopp and contributing to Slot’s title-winning side last season.

Would Robertson be a good fit for Newcastle?
Tottenham’s earlier interest suggests Robertson is still capable of performing at a high level in the Premier League, which could make him an astute acquisition for Newcastle.
That said, competition for his signature is expected to be strong. Alongside Newcastle, Aston Villa and Celtic are also reportedly interested, meaning the Magpies would need to present the most appealing proposal.

Still, Newcastle’s ambitious project, rich history, and the electric atmosphere at St James’ Park could make them an attractive destination for the experienced full-back.
