Andy Robertson is approaching the final eight months of his Liverpool contract, and reports indicate the club could soon begin crucial negotiations to secure his future. The 31-year-old, a long-serving stalwart since joining from Hull City in July 2017, nearly left for Atletico Madrid in the summer but now looks set to remain a key figure at Anfield.
Transfer insider Graeme Bailey has revealed that Liverpool are likely to start discussions around the New Year, when Robertson will have just six months left on his deal. While his childhood ties to Celtic are well known, Robertson reportedly still believes his future lies at Liverpool. The deal may not be long-term, but his performances this season demonstrate he remains capable of competing at the highest level.
Robertson briefly lost his starting spot to Milos Kerkez earlier in the campaign, but the left-back has since reclaimed his role under Arne Slot. With Kerkez yet to fully settle, Robertson’s intelligence, leadership, and experience—particularly during set pieces and key defensive moments—make him indispensable.
As a captain and seasoned professional, Robertson continues to drive standards on the pitch and in training, mentoring younger teammates while contributing to Liverpool’s top-level ambitions. With his contract nearing its end, and overseas suitors potentially waiting in the wings, Liverpool face little choice but to prioritize a renewal to maintain stability and leadership at left-back.
A decision on Robertson’s future now isn’t just about loyalty—it’s about securing a player vital to both results and squad harmony, much to the relief of Kopites eager to see their captain remain at Anfield.
