Celtic have expressed an interest in signing Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson, SportsBoom can exclusively reveal.
Seasoned Scotland international Robertson is out of contract next summer and our sources understand Liverpool will let the 31-year-old leave in the January transfer window providing the price is right.
Robertson has played a significant role in Liverpool’s success during his time with the club, including two Premier League titles and a memorable Champions League title triumph in 2019.
But after nine seasons at Anfield, this season could prove to Robertson’s last having dropped down the pecking under boss Arne Slot.
The Premier League champions signed Hungary international Milos Kerkez in the summer as part of their extensive spending spree.
Kerkez has been Liverpool’s number one left-back this season with Robertson having made just three appearances this term, with all of them as a substitute.
He started the club’s 3-2 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid last month, but knows he face a real battle to win back his regular starting spot under Slot.
BARGAIN BUY
And our sources have learnt that Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is hoping to entice Robertson north of the border for a cut-price fee in January.
Liverpool are loathed to losing Robertson for a free in the summer and, although rumours of a new contract have circulated, it is understood the player wants to play regular football, especially as he looks to continue playing for the national team.
Robertson 12 caps shorts of a special century of games for his country and knows regular football is the best way of guaranteeing his place in Scotland boss Steve Clarke’s team.
With 348 career appearances under his belt, Robertson is also set to attract plenty more interest as his contract runs down.
But Rodgers is hoping to get a deal done in principle before the transfer window re-opens and get the defender on board as the club look to defend their Scottish Premiership title.
