Liverpool and Tottenham have reached a preliminary agreement on the terms for the transfer of Scottish international left-back Andy Robertson to the London team for approximately 5 million pounds, including add-ons. However, no official announcement or final signing has been made yet by Liverpool or the player.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs on his official account on platform X, Liverpool will not agree to sell Robertson or give the player the green light to transfer unless they manage to sign a suitable replacement for the left-back position.

Liverpool faced difficulty in completing the deal to sign Kostas Tsimikas from Roma, as the loan contract does not include a clause allowing for his recall in the current transfer window. At the same time, Roma refuses to let go of the player until they secure a replacement in the same position.

The source mentioned that Liverpool and Robertson currently feel reassured about the progress of the negotiations. However, the player's transfer deal to Tottenham is directly linked to Roma's ability to sign a new left-back. If that happens, the deal is likely to resurface quickly; otherwise, Robertson will continue with Liverpool.

Press reports highlighted Robertson's professionalism after he received news earlier this week about the postponement of his transfer to Tottenham, which was scheduled after the Champions League match against Qarabag. He showed no objection, merely adhering to the club's stance.

The deal remains one of the most prominent topics in the final days of the transfer market, with the possibility of it progressing quickly if Roma completes the signing of a new left-back.
