LIVERPOOL star Andy Robertson is Bayern Munich’s top choice to replace Alphonso Davies, according to reports.
The German giants are set to lose left-back Davies to Real Madrid this summer, with the Canadian having reached a “verbal agreement” with the LaLiga champions.
Bayern want to recruit a top-class replacement for the 23-year-old, with Robertson fitting the bill.
According to the Mail, Bayern will try to tempt the Scot into a move.
The Bundesliga champions recognise that it will be difficult to prise the 29-year-old away from Anfield.
But they are determined to secure as high-quality a replacement for Davies as possible.

And they reckon that at this stage of his career, Robertson may be tempted by a new challenge.
The Scotland captain joined Liverpool from Hull in an £8million deal in 2017.
He has since appeared 282 times for the Reds, playing a key role in Premier League and Champions League wins, in addition to pocketing plenty of domestic medals.
Robertson recently returned from a shoulder injury and started Sunday’s victorious Carabao Cup final.

Kane and Co also find themselves on the brink of a round of 16 Champions League exit, having lost their first leg 1-0 to Lazio.
Bayern have been eliminated from the DFB Pokal, and lost in the German Supercup on Kane’s debut.
