AliousEverton are reportedly considering a move for Manchester City’s Alex Robertson, a 21-year-old Australian international midfielder whose contract is set to expire this summer.
Robertson, who spent the past season on loan at Portsmouth, played a crucial role in their League One title-winning campaign and subsequent promotion to the Championship.
During his time at Portsmouth, Robertson made 27 appearances across all competitions, with 20 starts in 23 games before a hamstring injury in January cut his season short.
His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with several Premier League and Championship clubs, including Everton, expressing interest in securing his services.
Robertson’s future remains uncertain as he awaits Manchester City’s decision.
The club may offer him a new contract and potentially loan him out again, or allow him to leave on a free transfer. If City opts for another loan spell, a return to Portsmouth in the Championship seems likely, potentially ruling out a move to Goodison Park.
The young midfielder’s impact at Portsmouth was evident in his heartfelt farewell message to the club’s fans, which garnered overwhelmingly positive responses.
Many supporters hailed him as one of the best players they’ve seen at the club in recent years.
Despite being born in Scotland, Robertson chose to represent Australia internationally, making his debut in 2023 and earning two caps so far.
Former Manchester United assistant Rene Muelensteen has praised Robertson as one of Australia’s top talents, highlighting his suitability for an advanced midfield role.
Muelensteen emphasized the importance of Robertson’s next career move, stating, “Whether that’s at Portsmouth or elsewhere, we’re always watching very closely.
You don’t spend several years on the books at Manchester City, train with the first team, and make the bench on a few occasions without having some excellent qualities.”
As the summer transfer window approaches, Everton’s interest in Robertson presents an intriguing opportunity for both the player and the club, potentially adding a promising young talent to the Toffees’ midfield options.
