Andy Robertson Confirms New Liverpool Contract Talks as Reds Star Faces 'Difficult Question'

Liverpool vice-captain Andy Robertson has confirmed ongoing contract discussions with the club, but expressed uncertainty about his long-term future amid reduced playing time[1]. The 31-year-old Scotland international, whose deal expires in summer 2026, faces a "difficult question" on whether to stay or explore options elsewhere[1].

Robertson has lost his starting spot following Liverpool's summer signing of left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, managing just four Premier League starts this season[1]. Despite this, he recently featured in key matches against Aston Villa and Real Madrid, impressing at Anfield[3]. Appointed vice-captain after Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid, Robertson joined from Hull City for £8m in 2017, amassing 362 appearances and nine trophies, including the Champions League and two Premier League titles[1].

"We've had chats now which will remain private. We'll see what happens," Robertson stated, emphasizing his family's role in the decision with five months left on his contract[1]. He remains "relaxed" about the situation, praising his excellent relationship with club hierarchy: "I've given absolutely everything... Nobody can deny what I have given to this club"[1][3]. Summer transfer rumors linked him to Atletico Madrid, but he chose to stay[3].

Robertson vowed not to repeat the "expiring deal saga" like teammates Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Alexander-Arnold last season[3]. Despite Kerkez's arrival, he values Liverpool's support for him and his family, focusing on performances over the next months: "Whatever happens will happen behind closed doors"[3]. The club risks losing him on a free transfer, but mutual respect persists after his trophy-laden tenure[1].
