Liverpool are in talks with Tottenham over Andy Robertson’s potential sale.
Robertson is now in the final five months of his existing deal at Anfield and has yet to strike an agreement on an extension despite talks ongoing with the club’s hierarchy.
The Scotland captain has fallen out of favour this season with Arne Slot electing to start summer signing Milos Kerkez over him for most of the Reds’ games so far.
Spurs approached their Premier League counterparts in the wake of their automatic left-back Ben Davies suffering a season-ending ankle injury last weekend.
Although Liverpool are open to discussions due to Robertson’s looming expiry date, they will not sanction the move if it leaves them short at left-back.
Kostas Tsimikas was allowed to join Roma on a season-long loan following the arrival of Kerkez, leaving only the 31-year-old available as an established option.
But Robertson’s eagerness to improve his playing prospects ahead of the World Cup could play a part in the end of his time on Merseyside after eight years.
Since signing from Hull City for £8 million in 2017, he has won a host of major honours including two Premier League titles and the Champions League.
Atletico Madrid previously attempted to test Liverpool’s resolve with a tentative approach for Robertson last summer but ultimately failed to progress negotiations.
