Italian giants Juventus have launched a shock, late bid to hijack a long-awaited move by Tottenham for outgoing Liverpool star Andy Robertson.

Juventus are trying to hijack Tottenham’s move for Andy Robertson

According to Romano’s update, Tottenham have been in advanced talks with Robertson for several weeks over a free transfer, with a deal seemingly nearing completion.

However, Juventus have now surprisingly entered the picture, presenting their proposal in an attempt to lure the left-back with Serie A experience instead.

Romano revealed the sudden twist to X: “Tottenham have been in advanced talks for weeks with Andy Robertson on a free transfer, a deal is close. Juventus have also entered the race and are trying to hijack the move with a proposal. The decision now comes to Robertson. “

The development has opened up the Robertson saga, with Romano clarifying that the decision now rests entirely on the 32-year-old.

Robertson must consider an appeal to stay in the Premier League with a Spurs side looking for respectability, against the lure of a move to one of European football’s most storied clubs in Turin.

Juventus are also likely to sign Alisson Becker

Robertson may not be the only Liverpool star heading to Juventus this summer, with reports also linking goalkeeper Alisson Becker with a possible move to the Italian giants.

The Brazilian stopper still has a year left on his contract at Anfield, meaning Juventus will need to negotiate a formal fee with Liverpool.

However, Alisson has reportedly expressed a strong desire to move to Turin, where he will reunite with his former Roma boss, Luciano Spalletti.

Juventus are said to be looking at whether it is possible to combine him with their existing team as they are looking to strengthen a lot before next season.

Should Juventus succeed in signing both Robertson and Alisson, it would represent a double swoop and send a strong statement of intent to their Serie A rivals.

For Tottenham, losing Robertson to the continental giants would be a frustrating mistake after weeks of bitter negotiations seem to have put them in a good position.
