Fenerbahçe have positioned themselves to sign Andy Robertson when he leaves Liverpool in the summer transfer window, and may beat Tottenham.
Fener Ajans report information from journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu today. He states that Fenerbahçe have lined up a deal for the 32-year-old.
Fenerbahçe agree deal
The Turkish journalist reports that Fenerbahçe have now agreed a deal with the Liverpool defender. He would sign a two-year contract with the Super Lig club, worth a €3m salary.
That deal is now lined up and ready to be signed. But it will be dependent on who wins the upcoming presidential elections at the club.
According to Sabuncuoğlu, the deal can be done ‘if both presidential candidates approve’ to the transfer this summer.
Fenerbahçe are set to vote in an extraordinary electoral congress scheduled for June 6-7th. That means any move for Andy Robertson could be delayed until that point. But the Turkish side have lined up the deal nonetheless.
The Scottish defender is set to bring his time at Anfield to and end this summer. The decision to leave Liverpool at the end of his contract has already been announced.
Tottenham interest
He was on the verge of leaving in the January transfer window, with Tottenham keen on him at that point. However, a deal could not be agreed at that point. He instead remained at Anfield to see out his contract and leave in the summer.
A second effort from Tottenham has been mooted, particularly if they stay in the Premier League this season. That’s set to be decided on the final day of the season.
But with such strong ties to the red side of Merseyside, perhaps he wants a different adventure. And it seems Fenerbahçe are ready to offer it to him.
They just need to wait for the end of their presidential elections, or for their candidates to agree, before they can push the agreement over the line.
