Andy Robertson Admits Liverpool Future Uncertainty

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has expressed uncertainty about his long-term future at Anfield, confirming ongoing contract talks amid reduced playing time.[1][2][3][4]

The 31-year-old Scottish captain's current deal expires in the summer of 2026, with just five months remaining. Speaking to the BBC, Robertson acknowledged private discussions with the club but emphasized his priority to play regular football. "We’ve had chats now which will remain private. I’ve spoken to them and we’ll see what happens," he said. "Would I like to stay? Yes, but it’s a difficult question to ask. I’ve got five months left and we need to see the option to stay or if there’s options to go and things like that."[1][3]

Robertson's situation has been complicated by the emergence of Milos Kerkez as the preferred left-back option during the 2025-26 season. Despite making 20 appearances across all competitions, only eight have been starts, leaving the veteran in a rotation role. This follows a summer transfer window where his future appeared uncertain, with interest from Atletico Madrid before they pursued other targets.[1][4]

The defender plans to consult his family before deciding. "I’ll sit down with my family and decide," he stated, adding, "After a stressful summer, I’m just trying to enjoy being a part of it, and being a Liverpool player." Robertson highlighted his strong relationship with the club's hierarchy, noting his £8m arrival and subsequent performances have always led to good contracts when deserved.[1][4]

While he recently helped Scotland qualify for the World Cup, Robertson stressed performance over the next four months will influence outcomes. His comments have fueled speculation of a potential summer exit if playing time doesn't improve.[1][2][3]
