Most Likely Andy Robertson Scenario Predicted as Liverpool Vice-Captain Nears End of Contract

Liverpool's long-serving left-back Andy Robertson faces an uncertain future as his contract enters its final five months, with ongoing talks revealing no imminent breakthrough. The Scotland international, who joined from Hull City in 2017 for £8m, has made over 350 appearances, securing two Premier League titles, a Champions League trophy, and more under Jürgen Klopp and Arne Slot.[1]



Robertson admits a lack of clarity about his Anfield tenure beyond this season. "We've had chats which will remain private," he told reporters, expressing a desire to stay but noting the complexity with options to depart looming. After Scotland's World Cup qualification, he's focusing on enjoying his Liverpool role amid a "stressful summer."[1]

The arrival of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for £40m ($54m) last summer has intensified speculation. The Hungarian has started most league games, sidelining the 31-year-old vice-captain who was once an ever-present. Fans are divided—some cherish his loyalty, others see his peak passed.[1]

Journalist insights from recent discussions highlight contract negotiations centering on length and wages. Robertson confirms talks are underway, but no deal is guaranteed. "He wants to stay, but it's not a done deal," one pundit noted, questioning if Liverpool's offer will satisfy or if Robertson seeks assurances on playing time.[2]

Reflecting on eight-and-a-half years of "giving everything," Robertson credits the club for past rewards. Yet, with Kerkez thriving, the most likely scenario points to a short-term extension—perhaps one year—to maintain squad depth, allowing evaluation under Slot. A free exit or Saudi move remains possible if terms falter, balancing loyalty against form.[1][2]

Next months won't dictate solely; family input and club stance will shape the outcome. Liverpool fans await clarity on their tenacious captain's fate.
