Sasa Lukic reacts to Antonee Robinson announcement at Fulham amid exit links
Antonee Robinson is the subject of a new announcement from Fulham, with Sasa Lukic reacting to the social media post.
The 27-year-old full-back has experienced a strange 2024/25 campaign, having recorded 10 assists in the Premier League, but also seeing his form drop significantly in the second half of the season.
Due to the USA international’s displays in the final third, Football Insider understood in March that Liverpool and Man United were targeting Robinson, with a £40million price tag set.
Links with a move away from Craven Cottage have cooled since then, likely to the relief of Marco Silva this summer, but the manager may not have the player at his disposal once pre-season kicks off for the Cottagers.
Antonee Robinson undergoes minor surgery after 2024/25 campaign
Taking to Instagram (28 May), the official club account wrote: “Antonee Robinson underwent successful minor surgery to his right knee yesterday and will now begin a period of rehabilitation to be ready for the start of next season.
“Wishing you the best for your recovery, Jedi,” with the post being liked by Lukic as a show of support for his injured teammate, who will not face Turkey or Switzerland in friendlies for the USA this summer.
Marco Silva also tipped for Fulham exit this summer
Football Insider verdict
Robinson is clearly not the only figure at Craven Cottage being linked with an exit this summer, with Tom Cairney and Andreas Pereira possibly departing the club over the coming weeks.
However, the biggest concerns are over the current manager’s future, with Football Insider understanding that Fulham are worried at the prospect of losing Silva ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
The 47-year-old has been heavily linked with replacing Ange Postecoglou in North London, despite the Australian lifting the Europa League title during one of the club’s worst seasons in its history.
Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham hangs in the balance, Football Insider understands, with Spurs’ horrendous form in the Premier League this season difficult to overlook, even with a trophy.
Silva has even been tipped for the Nottingham Forest job should Nuno Espirito Santo leave this summer, and given his record with Fulham, it is no surprise to see the links emerging.
He also has a history of leaving clubs for new challenges, so if the Cottagers are to keep him this summer, they must back him in the summer transfer window and show just as much ambition as the manager.
