# Real Madrid: Los Blancos eyeing a move for Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson

**According to reports from [Defensa Central](https://www.defensacentral.com/real_madrid/1572455731-exclusiva-dc-robertson-el-3-deseado-cuando-marcelo-salga) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-star-greatly-appreciated/)), Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Liverpool defender Andy Robertson, with the view to a potential transfer in the near future.**

Robertson has become a star at Anfield since joining the Merseyside club from Hull in 2017 and is now deemed to be one of the [best left-backs](https://www.sportbible.com/football/news-liverpools-andy-robertson-voted-the-best-left-back-in-the-world-20190505) in the world.

The Scotland [captain](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/09/06/andy-robertson-named-scotland-captain-inspiration-young-players/), who has won [34 caps](https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/players/?pid=63749&lid=1) for his country, has appeared in back-to-back Champions League finals with Liverpool – winning it with the Reds earlier this year – and is a pivotal member of Jurgen Klopp’s team.

Madrid are considering options for life after Marcelo. The Brazilian has been a mainstay at the Bernabeu throughout the previous twelve years – making over [400 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/marcelo/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/44501) for the Spanish giants – but, as he approaches the back-end of his career, could well be replaced by Bernabeu chiefs for a younger alternative in the not-so-distant future.

*Defensa Central* claim that Madrid have had scouts closely watching Robertson this season and have been hugely impressed with his performances for the Reds.

It’s stated that Robertson’s ‘energy’ is ‘greatly appreciated*’* at the Bernabeu and Zinedine Zidane would have ‘a lot of interest’ in signing the 25-year-old when Marcelo leaves.

It is hugely doubtful that Liverpool would let their first-choice left-back leave the club considering his importance to the team.

Madrid also spent £47m on 24-year-old [Ferland Mendy](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48617180) in the summer – a player who was probably brought in to naturally replace Marcelo whenever the South American does depart the club given his age – so the fact that they would try and buy another high-profile left-back does seem a little hard to believe.
