Andy Robertson has confirmed that talks are underway for a new deal. The 31-year-old Scottish captain’s future at Anfield appeared uncertain during the summer transfer window, with Atletico Madrid keen of the defender before they moved on to other targets.
The arrival of Milos Kerkez also has cast some doubt over his long-term future at Anfield. As the 2025-26 season has progressed, Kerkez has emerged as the preferred option, with Robertson finding himself in a position of rotation and reduced playing time. The 31-yearold has managed to rack up 20 appearances across all competitions, but only eight have been from the starting eleven.
Now speaking to the BBC, Robertson has confirmed that while talks are underway, he wants to play football at the end of the day:
“We’ll see what happens. We’ve had chats now which will remain private. I’ve spoken to them and we’ll see what happens. 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. “I’ll sit down with my family and decide.”
“After a stressful summer, I’m just trying to enjoy being a part of it, and being a Liverpool player. I wanted to qualify for the World Cup and thankfully we’ve managed to do that. I need to see what myself and my family wants moving forward.”
He added that he has enjoyed a good relationship with the club’s hierarchy and that good contracts have always come his way when he is performing well:
“I’ve given absolutely everything for the club for the last eight and a half years and the club have been very good to me. They have rewarded me with good contracts when I have been playing well. Nobody can deny what I have given to this club. I’ve given everything day in and day out and put in some performances which I think have been good and I hope others agree. I’ve won a lot of trophies and had a lot of good days here.”
“So it’s not quite like what the club needs to show in the next four months. My relationship with the people higher up in the club has always been excellent since the day I came in. Signing me for £8m and then doing what I have done helps that! I remind people of that all the time!”
