Liverpool are reportedly considering making a move to sign Brighton and Hove Albion full-back Pervis Estupinan.
That’s according to a recent report from Football Transfers, who claims Jurgen Klopp is already planning for Andy Robertson’s long-term successor.
Estupinan, 25, enjoyed an excellent season with the Seagulls last time out. Following his £18 million move from Villarreal just over 12 months ago, Brighton’s well-rounded number 30 has shown all the signs of becoming a top Premier League left-back.
And with Robertson set to turn 30 at the start of next year, the Scotsman is eventually going to need replacing, and according to these latest reports, there are already some early concerns over the former Hull City defender’s physical condition.

Fans may be surprised to hear these reports; especially considering the Reds’ reliable number 26 started 26 Premier League games last season – the same number of domestic games he started the season before.
Nevertheless, with Estupinan quickly emerging as one of England’s most impactful full-backs; a player capable of defending and attacking, Klopp could do a lot worse when it comes to possible replacements for a player who has undoubtedly been one of his best during his tenure.
Fitness concerns? That alone makes this story unbelievable.
Yeah I hear ya, I call Robbo the running 🏃♂️ man 😂
Maybe Liverpool should employ Brighton’s scouts they’d save a fortune
If the media are to be believed, Caicedo, Estupinan, Mitoma, Enciso & Ferguson are all going to one of Chelsea, Arsenal, City, United or Liverpool.

Not the tea lady!
Is this article a joke? There is nothing wrong with Robo’s fitness, the fact that he’s 30 means that he’s actually in his prime! Also we have another left back in Ksimikas, who is also just as good as Robo. We also have Gomez to back TAA up if need be, so if anything we need another quality center back.
Given Pavard’s versatility that can be a massive loss if he can join Man.utd. However if LFC can do sign Torino ‘s centre back at least things can be better at Liverpool. At the moment the dire need at Liverpool is the centre of the park where the sudden departures have limited the performances of Liverpool.I do pray that LFC can at least two more midfielders and a left footed centre back for now and make two additions at the end of the season.
