Bayern Munich 'planning shock move for Liverpool star' after Carabao Cup win

Bayern Munich are reportedly planning a shock move for a Liverpool star ahead of the summer transfer window.

As reported by the Daily Mail, the German Bundesliga champions are interested in Reds left-back Andy Robertson.

This comes after reports that Bayern full-back Alphonso Davies is expected to join La Liga giants Real Madrid in the summer.

Back in 2017, Jurgen Klopp signed Robertson from freshly relegated Hull City for a reported fee of £8 million.

As then, the Scotsman has developed into one of the finest full-backs in the world, having played a huge part in the Reds’ recent success.

Robertson has lifted the Premier League, Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and the FA Community Shield.

Although he is set to turn 30 next month, it has been claimed that Bayern believe he has the similar energy and balance that Davies possesses.

Speaking after Liverpool’s recent Carabao Cup triumph, Robertson praised the youngsters who came on during the final.

He said: “Of course we believe in the team and the young lads but when everyone turned up for the pre-match meal and so it has to be right up there. We have a lot of players out and hopefully they come back soon enough and we can be a wee bit stronger for the rest of the season.

“It wasn't a risk [to play the youngsters]. We see them every single day. What else are we meant to do? That was our bench today and the quality they have we can see at the training ground every day. We didn't believe it was a risk. We just wanted them to express themselves and that is what we tried to help them with.”

Liverpool are back in action on Wednesday night when they host Championship side Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round.
