Andy Robertson reveals Everton’s failed £750,000 bid to make him Baines successor

Andy Robertson revealed that Everton attempted to sign him on a permanent deal for £750,000 in January 2014 while he was playing for Dundee United. Speaking on The Overlap's Stick to Football, the Scotland international shared that then-Everton manager Roberto Martinez personally scouted him and planned to loan him back to Dundee United for six months before using him as Leighton Baines' backup.

Dundee United rejected Everton's £750,000 offer because they valued the 19-year-old left-back at £1.5 million. Robertson remained with Dundee United for the rest of that season before completing a £2.85 million transfer to Hull City in the summer of 2014, later moving to Liverpool three years later.
