Andy Robertson admits lack of clarity about Liverpool future

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has admitted a lack of clarity over his future at the club, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.[7][1]



The 31-year-old Scotland international expressed a relaxed attitude despite entering the final year of his deal. "Whatever happens will happen behind closed doors and I'm relaxed about the whole situation," Robertson said in a recent interview. "If it is my last year, then it's my last year. If it's not, then so be it."[1][2]

Robertson reflected on his strong relationship with Liverpool, noting the club's support for him and his family since his £8 million move from Hull City. He praised his contributions but emphasized focusing on football amid summer uncertainties, including links to Atlético Madrid, which he ultimately rejected to stay at Anfield.[1][4]

The arrival of young left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth for £40 million has intensified competition. Despite this, Robertson has started Liverpool's last three games, impressing against Aston Villa and Real Madrid, and is determined to fight for his place. "I do want to play games and be the starting left-back," he stated, vowing to push Kerkez while helping the 21-year-old adapt to the demands of Anfield.[1][4]

Robertson dismissed repeating last season's contract saga involving Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, which dominated headlines. He plans to enjoy the coming months before negotiations intensify in January. "I'm just trying to focus on football now. Delighted to be back on the pitch," he added.[1][2]

Under head coach Arne Slot, Liverpool extended their perfect start with a 1-0 win at Burnley, where Robertson substituted in. As talks remain private, the vice-captain remains committed, stating the club has been "amazing" for him.[1][4]
