Andy Robertson Admits Lack of Clarity on Liverpool Future
Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson has expressed uncertainty about his long-term future at the club, with his contract set to expire in the summer of 2026. Despite opening talks for a new deal, the 31-year-old Scotland international admits he is weighing his options amid reduced playing time.[1][2]
Robertson, who joined Liverpool from Hull City for a bargain £8 million in 2017, has made 362 appearances, winning nine trophies including the Champions League and two Premier League titles. Appointed vice-captain after Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid, he has started just four Premier League games this season following the summer signing of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth.[1][3]
"We've had chats now which will remain private. We'll see what happens," Robertson said. "It's a difficult question to answer [if he wants to stay]. I've got five months left and we need to see the option to stay or if there's options to go." He emphasized his strong relationship with the club: "I've given absolutely everything for the club... Nobody can deny what I have given."[1]
Remaining "relaxed" about the situation, Robertson noted a stressful summer with interest from Atletico Madrid, which ultimately fell through. "If it is my last year, then it’s my last year. If it’s not, then so be it," he added, focusing on enjoying football in his final contract months.[2][4][5]
Journalists report ongoing discussions, but speculation links Robertson to high-level moves, potentially even a return to boyhood club Celtic. Liverpool faces contract uncertainties with players like Ibrahima Konaté, but Robertson's behind-the-scenes influence remains vital. He recently impressed in starts against Aston Villa and Real Madrid despite Kerkez's preference under manager Arne Slot.[3][4]
Robertson praised Liverpool's support for him and his family, underscoring mutual respect after nearly nine transformative years at Anfield.[1][2]
