Calvin Ramsay Reveals Liverpool Plans for Him: “I Spoke with My Agent…”

Calvin Ramsay, Liverpool's Scottish right-back, is poised for a bigger first-team role following Conor Bradley's season-ending injury. Initially expected to depart on loan, Ramsay is now likely to stay at Anfield as cover, according to reports from The Athletic’s James Pearce[2][4].

Since joining from Aberdeen in 2022 for £4.2 million, Ramsay's Liverpool tenure has been challenging, limited to just two competitive appearances over four injury-hit seasons, including four loan spells with inconsistent playing time[2][3]. However, a strategic summer plan has turned things around. Speaking to liverpoolfc.com and the official matchday programme, Ramsay explained: “I spoke with my agent and the club at the start of the season and, off the back of the loans that I’ve had, the best solution was to stay around the club here, play with the U21s, get back to full fitness and get opportunities with the first team like I’ve got”[2][3].

He highlighted recent progress: “I’ve trained with them, played against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup. That was the plan really and I think it’s worked out perfectly because I feel fit, I feel good training with the first team and hopefully it puts me in a good position now”[2][3]. Ramsay has featured in Liverpool's matchday squad nine times this season, including his run-out against Palace, benefiting from daily training under Arne Slot alongside Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong[3].

Reflecting on setbacks like two knee injuries and limited loan minutes, Ramsay remains confident: “I’ve always believed in myself... I just knew I need to keep working hard and when I got an opportunity, like the Palace game, to take it”[2]. Being around “world-class players” is boosting his development, positioning him ideally amid Bradley's absence[2][3].
