Scotland captain and Liverpool vice-captain Andy Robertson has addressed speculation about a possible exit from Liverpool following the arrival of new left-back Milos Kerkez. At 31 years old, Robertson has been supplanted in the starting lineup by the younger £40 million signing Kerkez, who is ten years his junior. Despite this, Robertson reaffirmed his commitment to Liverpool, stating he is ready to fight to regain his position rather than simply accept a backup role. He acknowledged that a move to Atletico Madrid was a possibility during the summer transfer window but ultimately chose to remain at Anfield for the final year of his contract.

The Scotland skipper recently came off the bench in Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Burnley, contributing positively to the team after Kerkez was at risk of a sending off. This performance served as a reminder of Robertson’s continued quality and contribution. Reflecting on the chance of playing against Liverpool for Atletico, Robertson said, “Maybe at one point,” indicating the transfer almost happened but did not.

Robertson also commented on new signing Milos Kerkez, emphasizing a healthy competition for the left-back spot. He vowed to push the young talent for the role, showing professionalism and confidence in his ability to maintain his place in the team. Liverpool manager Arne Slot’s rotation has seen Robertson starting fewer games, but his influence and leadership as vice-captain remain crucial. Robertson’s experience and ability to elevate the team are viewed as vital assets during a competitive start to the season for Liverpool.
