“Ice. Cold. Silence.” — that’s how insiders are describing Real Madrid’s reaction to advances from Andrew Robertson, who was reportedly hopeful of securing a blockbuster move to the Santiago BernabĂ©u this summer.
đź’Ą Key Developments:
Robertson’s entourage had quietly initiated contact with Real Madrid, anticipating that the club would be interested in bolstering their left flank.
But to his surprise, Madrid’s response was blunt and emotionless, giving a flat-out rejection with no further dialogue — “no interest, not now.”
🧊 Why the Cold Shoulder? Madrid reportedly consider Ferland Mendy and the incoming Miguel Gutiérrez as sufficient depth at left-back, and see no tactical advantage in signing the 30-year-old Scotsman.
🔍 Meanwhile, KonatĂ©… Behind the scenes, Real Madrid are laying out a long-term plan to lure Ibrahima KonatĂ©, seeing him as a potential future anchor of their defence.
Club president Florentino Pérez and new manager Xabi Alonso are monitoring Konaté’s situation at Liverpool closely.
The idea is to pair him with Éder Militão or Antonio Rüdiger’s eventual successor, possibly in 2026 or earlier depending on circumstances.
⚠️ Conclusion: Robertson’s Real Madrid dream may have frozen, but Madrid’s eyes are still firmly set on Anfield — just not where most expected.
Stay alert. The Bernabéu always moves in silence
before it strikes.
