Andy Robertson has admitted his Anfield future is uncertain as he conceded Liverpool look likely to sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth this summer. Robertson has one year left on his current Reds contract and is well aware that Arne Slot is looking to strengthen at left-back this summer.
The Scotland captain made 45 appearances in all competitions this season as Liverpool won the Premier League title but found himself under greater pressure from Kostas Tsimikas as his own form came under question.
The Reds have repeatedly been linked with a plethora of new left-backs with Robertson previously acknowledging such transfer speculation.

Liverpool have since ramped up their efforts to sign Kerkez having long been considered favourites for the Hungarian’s signature.
Robertson has now admitted that it does look like the Reds will sign the 21-year-old this summer but he has also insisted he still has plenty left to offer.
And while he acknowledged his future is unclear beyond the end of his deal, which runs until June 2026, the 31-year-pold suggested he at least intends to see out the next 12 months.
"We're not daft, it looks as if a deal could potentially be done," Robertson told BBC Scotland, when asked about the Kerkez rumours. "But, until that is done, I've not even given that a second thought.
“I back myself, I've got confidence in my own ability and that drives me forward. I've had eight fantastic years at Liverpool in terms of winning trophies, being a mainstay in the team, which I'm incredibly proud of.
"I'm not getting any younger, I can't change my age, but I still believe I've got a lot to give and that's what I focus on. I focus on myself - you can't focus on other people or who you're competing with.
“I think I’ve got loads more to achieve full stop. I’m 31, this season I didn’t miss a game, I didn’t miss a training session even in terms of physical, in terms of your body and everything like that.
“That’s something I’m happy with obviously after last season, in terms of my shoulder injury, my ankle injury and obviously ended the Euros with a knee injury. Last season was tough. This season I’m happy that I’ve been available for every single game.
"I still believe I have a hell of a lot to give for however many years I can keep going. My body feels good at the minute. I can't tell you how I'll feel at 33 or 34, but I can tell you, at 31, I feel excellent.
"I've been fit for every game, I've not missed a training session and that's not a sign of someone who is slowing down.”
He continued: “I’ve obviously got a year left at Liverpool and I don’t know what the future will hold after that.
“But I still believe I’ve still got a lot to give and I think people still know I’ve got a lot to give as well. I think I’ve shown that in performances this season.
“I’ve never looked too far ahead, I don’t look behind, I don’t look too far ahead, I just look at the next games. I’m looking forward to these two Scotland games.
“I’m then looking forward to definitely having a switch-off with my family and friends, and trying to hit the reset button. And then we look forward to pre-season.
“That’s all I can focus on at the minute. What the future holds after that? I've not given it too much thought.”
