Liverpool Football Club is experiencing a controversial transfer period in January 2026, as Tottenham Hotspur has shown strong interest in signing Scottish full-back Andy Robertson before the end of his contract with the Reds, paving the way for a significant defensive transfer move.

Journalistic sources reported that the London club has made an offer to sign Robertson, who has not been a regular starter in Liverpool's lineup since the arrival of Milos Kerkez. Talks between the two parties are progressing, amid the player's desire to take on a new challenge before the World Cup.

As part of Liverpool's plan to compensate for a potential departure of Robertson, journalist Ben Jacobs confirmed that the English club's management is preparing to contact AS Roma to open discussions about recalling Greek full-back Kostas Tsimikas from his loan period there, despite the absence of an official clause allowing for an early recall in the loan contract.

It appears that the Italian club does not oppose the idea of Tsimikas returning, which would make it easier for Liverpool to strengthen the left-back position if Robertson's transfer to Tottenham is approved, a move that would reorganize the Reds' defensive lineup mid-season.
