The American star being chased by Liverpool and Manchester United
The upcoming winter transfer market in the Premier League has a special player in focus: Antonee Robinson, the talented left-back from Fulham, who’s being targeted by both Liverpool and Manchester United. Born in Milton Keynes but holding American nationality, Robinson is a key figure for the United States national team, having played 46 matches and scored four goals. At 27, he has proven to be a top-tier defender, known for his speed, defensive solidity, and ability to contribute to the attack.
Liverpool, managed by Arne Slot, sees Robinson as the perfect addition to strengthen their left flank after Andy Robertson’s injury. His Premier League experience and offensive mindset make him a top priority for the Reds. However, signing him won’t be easy: Fulham, aware of the value of their player, has set his price at around $50 million and has his contract running until 2028, giving them the leverage to reject any offers in January.
Manchester United, under Rúben Amorim, also wants to bring the American full-back to Old Trafford. For the Red Devils, Robinson represents an opportunity to add a reliable and dynamic defender to bolster their squad. The rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United for this player is set to heat up, making it clear that "Jedi," as he’s known by his Star Wars-inspired nickname, is on the radar of England's biggest clubs.
Proud to represent the United States, Robinson not only shines in the Premier League but also looks set to be a key player for the U.S. national team ahead of the 2024 Copa América. With his brave and charismatic playing style, the left-back has become a prime example of American talent competing at the highest level of world football. His future, whether at Anfield or Old Trafford, is certainly one of the most exciting stories of the upcoming transfer window.
