“Fabrizio Romano provides the latest update on Andy Robertson’s ongoing Tottenham negotiations”

 

 

Liverpool face renewed uncertainty over Andy Robertson’s future after a fresh update from Fabrizio Romano on Sunday.

Romano revealed on X that discussions between Tottenham and Liverpool regarding Robertson are ongoing, with the clubs still negotiating the fee following an initial proposal on Friday. This comes at a delicate moment: Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Bournemouth already highlighted weaknesses in key areas and felt like a pivotal turning point.

Robertson came off the bench at half-time and, even in a tough match, showed he can still make an immediate impact. But the bigger question now is whether his appearance against Bournemouth could be his last in a Liverpool shirt.

While one Romano tweet doesn’t confirm anything, the fact that talks are “still ongoing” keeps uncertainty very much alive—and at a particularly inconvenient time for Liverpool.

Robertson has been linked with a Tottenham move over the past week, with David Ornstein reporting it as a realistic possibility rather than just summer speculation. The reasoning is clear, if frustrating: he wants regular playing time.

Liverpool are already stretched for options, making a potential January exit a significant gamble. Manager Arne Slot has shown he will offer little clarity publicly, meaning press conferences aren’t likely to provide answers. This leaves Romano’s brief update as the main insight: negotiations continue, the fee is being discussed, and no final decision has been reached.

Robertson’s season has largely involved limited starts and short appearances—exactly the situation that might push a senior player to consider leaving. If Tottenham can offer him a regular role, it’s easy to see why a move is on the table.

However, the footballing considerations must be weighed against squad management realities. If Robertson departs now, Liverpool must be confident it doesn’t create a bigger problem than it solves. And even if no deal is made, Romano’s update highlights an uncomfortable truth: this situation isn’t going away quietly.
