USMNT Defender Robinson Linked With Summer Move To Chelsea—-The Fulham full-back is reportedly on Chelsea’s transfer list for the upcoming transfer market, As the London giant are in search for a new left back due to Chilwell consistent injury spell.

One of the most consistent players for the United States has been Antonee Robinson, who has also become an undisputed starter on the left for side Fulham. Given his success, some argue he is ready to go one step further in his development, and now links to Premier League side Chelsea have emerged.

The 26-year-old is a reliable player when it comes to defending, all while possessing a strong desire to attack; his high level of performance was also recently praised by Pep Guardiola, who referred to him as an extremely interesting player.

According to sources consulted by the media outlet GiveMeSport, The Blues are “seriously” thinking about going in for the player over the summer, where he would compete for the position with Ben Chilwell and cause Levi Colwill to fight for his place at centre-back. For this move to happen, however, Chelsea would need to offload players due to Financial Fair Play restrictions, with Marc Cucurella the likeliest exit.

How much would Antonee Robinson cost Chelsea?

The report indicates that Chelsea would be willing to pay around £35 million ($45m). It should also be remembered that Robinson has a contract with Fulham until 2028, but making the move to a ‘bigger’ club in England – despite Fulham being just one point behind Chelsea, who are struggling in mid-table – would be a huge opportunity in his career, especially given that the 2026 World Cup, a target for him, is set to be held in North America.

Although the report details that Manchester United could also be interested in him, the arrival of Tyrell Malacia and the standing of Luke Shaw in the squad make a deal more complicated. Added to the mix are the players’ contracts: Malacia is under contract until 2026 and Shaw’s deal expires in 2027.

While preparations for the Copa América 2024 are well underway, the USMNT has the task of the CONCACAF Nations League Final Four, where Robinson is one of the most in-form players of the squad. Heading into the semifinal against Jamaica (Thursday March 21, 7:00 p.m. ET / 4:00 p.m. PT.), the winger noted: “Every time we play for a trophy, it means something. I want to keep on winning this trophy. I want us to win it to the point where it gets boring for people to watch us keep on winning it.”

“We always focus on the bigger picture, we know that the bigger picture is the next World Cup, but obviously we have many steps until then. We have the Nations League and then Copa América, which is probably the second most important tournament after the World Cup,” Robinson told SBI Soccer.

Ousmane Dembélé Hits Brace as Paris Saint-Germain Knock Out Liverpool from UCL—-Ousmane Dembélé starred with a brace as Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, sealing a dominant 4-0 aggregate win to reach the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

The French forward proved decisive on the night, scoring twice to end Liverpool’s European campaign and send the defending champions into the last four for a third consecutive season.

Liverpool’s night was further marred by a serious injury to Hugo Ekitiké, who was forced off in the first half with what appeared to be a severe leg issue, raising concerns over his availability for the remainder of the season.

Manager Arne Slot made bold selection calls, leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench initially, though the forward was introduced early following Ekitiké’s injury and nearly made an instant impact.

Despite flashes of pressure from Liverpool, PSG remained composed and dangerous on the counter. Dembélé broke the deadlock in the second half with a fine curling effort before adding a second in stoppage time from a Bradley Barcola assist.

Liverpool’s hopes of a comeback were also dashed when a penalty awarded for a challenge on Alexis Mac Allister was overturned following a VAR review.

The defeat confirms a disappointing end to Liverpool’s European campaign, while PSG continue their title defence and will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Ademola Lookman On Target as Atlético Madrid Edge Barcelona 3-2 on Aggregate to Reach UCL Semi-Finals—-Atlético Madrid booked their place in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals after edging Barcelona 3-2 on aggregate, despite a 2-1 defeat in the second leg of their quarter-final clash.

Barcelona made a blistering start at the Metropolitano, with Lamine Yamal opening the scoring early before Ferran Torres doubled their lead inside 24 minutes to level the tie on aggregate.

However, Atlético responded through Ademola Lookman, whose crucial strike restored his side’s aggregate advantage following their 2-0 first-leg win.

Diego Simeone’s men then held firm under intense pressure, with Barcelona’s hopes taking a major hit when Eric García was sent off for bringing down Alexander Sørloth as he raced through on goal.

Despite late attacking changes from coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona were unable to find the third goal needed to force extra time, as Atlético battled through a tense finish.

The result sees Atlético Madrid reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2017, keeping alive their dream of winning the competition for the first time in their history.

They will now face either Arsenal or Sporting CP in the semi-finals.
