The failure to qualify for the Champions League prompt Liverpool star to accept Real Madrid offer
Real Madrid came out with one championship – the King’s Cup – this season after losing the Spanish League to Barcelona by a wide margin and exiting the Champions League in the semi-finals with a heavy defeat at the hands of Manchester City.
Therefore, Florentino Perez intends to strengthen the team’s ranks to be able to win trophies again, and one of the positions that appeared clearly during the season is that it needs support at the highest level, which is the left-back position.
Ancelotti was forced to push Eduardo Camavinga in the left-back position in most of the matches for the second part of the season due to Ferland Mendy’s repeated injuries, and he does not intend to enter the new season with the same problem.
And according to the Daily Mail newspaper in its Scottish version, Real Madrid set its sights on Liverpool’s full-back, Andy Robertson, to include him during the summer transfer window.
The Scottish full-back, who has assisted 8 goals in 34 games, has a contract at Anfield until 2026, but despite that, he may be tempted by Real Madrid’s offer for two reasons, according to the Scottish newspaper.
The first reason is not to qualify for the Champions League next season. Liverpool are fifth behind Manchester United, and in order to qualify for the major European championship, United must lose their next two matches against Chelsea and Fulham, which is unlikely.
The second reason is to change Liverpool’s game plan. Jurgen Klopp has become dependent on a new system, which is 3-4-3, a plan that diminishes Robertson’s offensive role, as the Scottish full-back plays in this drawing the role of the left heart of defense, while Arnold advances offensively.
According to the aforementioned newspaper, Liverpool may accept the deal, but it will demand a sum of no less than 40 million euros.
