Robinson’s rising value: Top clubs eye the versatile Full-Back

The growing interest in Robinson has led former USMNT player Alexi Lalas to suggest in his podcast that “Robinson’s value is well-deserved at around $30 million. His two-way play and attacking contributions make him ideal for top clubs needing a versatile full-back.” It’s no surprise that Robinson has proven to be a reliable defender, but it’s his offensive contributions, particularly his assists that have made him stand out in a position often dominated by defensive duties.

Reports suggest that both Liverpool and Manchester United are monitoring his situation closely. Manchester United, in particular, is reportedly considering a $37.6 million bid for Robinson to replace the frequently injured Luke Shaw. Meanwhile, Liverpool, who have had issues at left-back despite Andy Robertson’s long-standing role in the team, such as – his red card in a 10-man draw against Fulham. And critics point to him as a weak link in an otherwise strong team. Liverpool is reportedly looking at Robinson as a potential successor or competition for Robertson.

Amid the transfer speculations, Robinson has expressed openness to considering offers from top Premier League clubs. In an interview with Marca, Robinson revealed  “I’m very happy here. The fact that there is interest from other teams is great. Obviously, it all comes down to whether someone wants me enough to pay what Fulham would ask. So, if the club sees it as a good idea, I would leave.” The opportunity to play for a club with title aspirations like Liverpool would be hard to turn down, especially for a player who has given so much to Fulham since his arrival.

Fulham unwilling to let Robinson go as Premier League giants circle

Antonee Robinson has proven himself as one of the Premier League’s most dynamic and versatile left-backs. His all-around game, which blends solid defensive work with impressive attacking contributions, has attracted the attention of all these top clubs. While interest in Robinson is growing, Fulham is reportedly unwilling to let him go during the January transfer window.

Manager Marco Silva is keen to retain Robinson for the remainder of the season, as the player has been integral to Fulham’s solid defensive performances. The club values Robinson as one of their most important players and will not entertain offers unless they meet their high asking price. As Fulham is determined to keep him until at least the end of the season, it remains to be seen whether the Reds will make their move for the talented American defender. Either way, Robinson’s future promises to be an exciting story to watch unfold.
