Andy Robertson Admits Liverpool Future Unclear with Contract Expiring in Summer

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has expressed a relaxed stance on his uncertain future at Anfield, as his contract is set to expire at the end of the 2025-26 season.[1]

The 31-year-old Scottish left-back, who joined Liverpool from Hull City for £8 million in 2017, has been a key player but faced speculation over his long-term role following the club's summer signing of Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth. Despite this, Robertson has started Liverpool's last three matches at left-back, delivering impressive performances against Aston Villa and Real Madrid.[1]

Speaking candidly, Robertson reflected on last season's contract sagas involving teammates Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, noting his own "wonderful" relationship with the club. "They've done everything for me in terms of me and my family. I think I've not been too bad for them... Whatever happens will happen behind closed doors and I'm relaxed about the whole situation," he said. "If it is my last year, then it's my last year. If it's not, then so be it."[1]

Earlier rumors linked him with Atletico Madrid, but Robertson chose to stay on Merseyside amid a "stressful summer." He confirmed no new contract talks have occurred yet, preferring to focus on football during the final months of his deal. "I'm just trying to focus on football now... Delighted to be back on the pitch," he added, vowing not to repeat the drawn-out negotiations of previous contract expiries.[1]

Robertson is among several Liverpool players, including Ibrahima Konate, Freddie Woodman, Rhys Williams, and Trey Nyoni, whose contracts expire in summer 2026, potentially allowing pre-contract moves from January onward.[2]

His comments underscore a pragmatic approach, prioritizing performance amid uncertainty, as Liverpool navigates squad planning under manager Arne Slot.
