Real Madrid find themselves in an interesting position at the moment. On one hand, it is clear that this squad has a lot of quality and with players like Eduardo Camavinga, Fede Valverde, Eder Militao, Aurelien Tchouameni, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo as the core of the team, they can be serious contenders for years to come.

On the other hand, it is also clear that they need to make additions. They simply do not have enough depth to be competing in all three competitions or to keep up with truly elite squads, like that of Manchester City.

One area where they might need to improve in the near future is left-back. The future of Ferland Mendy is in doubt and there have been suggestions that the Frenchman could leave in the summer.

As reported by The Mail+, Real Madrid plot a £40 million transfer move for Andrew Robertson. They have placed the Scotland captain on a list of potential summer reinforcements.

Robertson has had an interesting journey in football to say the least. After failing to make it at Celtic, there were many who felt that he would have a tough time establishing himself at a top level.

Now though, he has established himself as a Liverpool icon and been a key part of one of the club’s most successful eras. It has been made even sweeter by the fact that they had struggled to return to the top of English football for such a long time.

Robertson has not enjoyed a great campaign this time around. And while there have been no suggestions that he is looking for an exit, a chance to join Real Madrid might certainly interest him. Let’s see what the future holds for the Liverpool left-back as we approach the summer transfer window.
