Andy Robertson’s Liverpool future hangs in the balance, with less than eight months remaining on his current deal — but fresh reports suggest renewal talks could soon begin.
The 31-year-old, one of the club’s longest-serving players since arriving from Hull City in 2017, came close to leaving for Atletico Madrid last summer. Yet, despite growing speculation, it now appears Robertson still sees his future at Anfield.
According to transfer insider Graeme Bailey, Liverpool are expected to open negotiations over a new short-term contract around the New Year — just as Robertson enters the final six months of his deal. “Everyone knows about his emotional connection to Celtic,” Bailey said, “but he still believes he has unfinished business at Liverpool.”
Once sidelined behind Milos Kerkez earlier this season, Robertson has reclaimed his place as Arne Slot’s first-choice left-back, proving his worth through experience, tactical intelligence, and leadership. His clever positioning — particularly during set-pieces — continues to be a valuable weapon for the Reds, creating space for teammates like Virgil van Dijk to strike.
Beyond his on-field impact, the Scotland captain remains a vocal leader in the dressing room, reminiscent of former vice-captain James Milner, setting high standards for Liverpool’s younger generation.
With Kerkez still adjusting to life at Anfield and Robertson proving he can still perform at the top level, Liverpool may have little choice but to secure the veteran’s future before rival clubs swoop in with pre-contract offers in January.
For now, though, the message is clear — Robertson wants to stay, and Kopites would welcome that decision with open arms.
