Liverpool’s season has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. They won the 2024/25 season by ten points, and confidence was high that they could repeat their success in the 2025/26 season. However, the devastating passing of Diogo Jota on July 3 understandably affected Liverpool, and they began this season sluggishly and quickly fell away. In recent times, they have still been throwing away points, but things have improved. They sit in sixth place, on the same points as fifth-place Chelsea. They also have a last-16 Champions League tie against Galatasaray to come. They are also in the hat for the FA Cup quarter-final draw after defeating Wolves 3-1 on March 6. Andy Robertson’s contract is due to expire this summer, but the Scottish international has made his stance clear regarding his future.
Andy Robertson Speaks Out on Uncertain Future
Scottish International Linked With Transfer
Robertson has enjoyed a brilliant spell at Liverpool since joining them in 2017, including two Premier League titles and a Champions League winners’ medal.
His contract is due to expire this summer, and Liverpool initially accepted a £5m bid for the Scottish captain from Tottenham Hotspur in January. However, this acceptance was quickly rescinded due to injuries at Anfield.
Robertson has had to play second fiddle to Milos Kerkez for parts of this season, but he has never spoken out negatively against Arne Slot or vented his frustrations in a public setting. The Scot showed his class in the March 6 FA Cup win over Wolves, scoring and assisting in the game.

Discussing his future, Robertson said: “There was obviously interest there (from Tottenham) and there were discussions had with both sets of clubs, but the decision was that I wanted to stay,” said the 32-year-old.
“I was never not committed. I’ve been committed to Liverpool for the last eight and a half or nine years now and I’ll be committed until I’m no longer needed. That’s always been my mindset.
“This club has given me everything and I’ve given this club everything. It’s been a fantastic relationship so hopefully that continues. Obviously January happened but it is now gone.
“Now we move forward and my focus never came off trying to help the lads on the pitch and in training.
“Whatever was happening behind the scenes happened, and all I can say is that I kept focusing on football.”
Robertson Keeps Future Talks In-House
Robertson, described recently as the “ultimate professional,” also spoke about his relationship with the club and his desire for the future:
“I’ve got an amazing relationship with Richard Hughes (sporting director) and with Mike Gordon (president of owners Fenway Sports Group) and Michael Edwards (FSG’s chief executive of football),” he added.
“These people (Gordon and Edwards) brought me to the football club, they have helped make me who I am.

“Out of respect to them the conversations will be in-house. I don’t think it will get played out in public.
“My thought process is I want to win trophies at Liverpool, that has always been my focus.
“It’s not gone the way that we wanted in the league – that is clear – and we’re out of the Carabao Cup so we have got two chances.
“If we have more performances like we did Friday then we have a chance. If we play like Tuesday (losing 2-1 in the league at Wolves) then we have no chance, so we need to try and find that consistency.”
