Andy Robertson Keen to Stay at Liverpool but Wants to Play Football

Andy Robertson, Liverpool's veteran left-back, has expressed uncertainty about his future at Anfield despite ongoing contract talks, emphasizing his desire to continue playing regularly.[1][2]

The 31-year-old Scottish international, who joined Liverpool from Hull City for £8 million in 2017, has made 362 appearances and won nine trophies, including the Champions League and two Premier League titles. Appointed vice-captain after Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid, Robertson's contract expires in summer 2026, putting the club at risk of losing him on a free transfer.[1][4]

His place in the starting lineup has been challenged by the summer signing of Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth, limiting Robertson to just four Premier League starts this season. Despite this, he has featured in Liverpool's last three games at left-back, impressing against Aston Villa and Real Madrid.[1][2]

Speaking candidly, Robertson confirmed private discussions with the club: "We’ve had chats now which will remain private. We’ll see what happens." He remains "relaxed" about the situation, praising his strong relationship with Liverpool: "They've done everything for me... I've given absolutely everything for the club." However, with five months left on his deal, he plans to consult his family before deciding whether to stay or explore options elsewhere.[1][2]

Summer transfer rumors linked him to Atletico Madrid, but he chose to stay. Under manager Arne Slot, Liverpool is focusing on a younger squad, and renewal talks have reportedly stalled. Robertson vows not to let contract uncertainty distract him, prioritizing football: "I'm just trying to focus on football now. Delighted to be back on the pitch."[2][3]

Robertson's situation mirrors recent sagas with stars like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, but he insists his bond with the club remains positive as decisions loom.[2]
