Already the last couple of years have been a time of change around Anfield. But that is not going to change for Liverpool any time soon. The club’s era under Jurgen Klopp is coming to an end. Liverpool have already lost a lot of key stars who were integral during Klopp’s first phase. And more are likely to follow in the coming seasons ahead, as Klopp’s old guard begins to age.

Eventually, Liverpool will have to say farewell to the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and many more who are now all in their thirties and not getting any younger. As a professional player, when you turn 30-years-old, the hour glass turns, and the clock starts ticking.

Liverpool’s policy has always been to look ahead to the future. The club is always building teams that are capable of competing not just in the present but for many years to come. This motivation will undoubtedly influence Liverpool’s decision making in the transfer market in the coming years ahead. As it has always done. Which means difficult decisions will need to be made, and fan favourites will have to be sold if the right offer arrives.

Andy Robertson transfer latest

According to the latest report from the Daily Mail, Andy Robertson has emerged as a candidate to replace Alphonso Davies at Bayern Munich. The Scotsman, who was described as ‘world class’ [CaughtOffside] by former Liverpool player Stan Collymore last year, has only two years remaining on his current contract with the club.

He will be turning 30-years-old in a few years time, which makes it difficult for us to see him being given a long-term contract extension. Robertson is undoubtedly a top player, and someone who has been one of the club’s greatest ever signings. However, Liverpool have to think pragmatically, and the reality is that this summer, if Bayern are keen, is the last chance for Liverpool to sell him for a big profit.

Bayern is a club the Reds have conducted plenty of business with in the recent past. Liverpool agreed a deal to sign Thiago Alcantara almost four years ago with the German giants. The Reds also sold Sadio Mane to Bayern back in 2022.
