Liverpool ace set to weigh up future at season’s end as summer departure looms
Andy Robertson’s long-term future at Liverpool is coming under increasing focus, with the Scotland captain now expected to weigh up his next steps as his contract runs down this summer.
Football Insider reports that the veteran left-back is open to seeking a new challenge after his influence at Anfield has waned over the course of the campaign. Now 31, Robertson has been a central figure in Liverpool’s modern success, but recent changes have altered his place in the squad hierarchy.
The arrival of Milos Kerkez has reshaped the pecking order on the left side of defence, and under head coach Arne Slot, Robertson is no longer viewed as the undisputed first choice. That reduced role has led to serious consideration about his future as he enters the final months of his deal.
January interest and Tottenham’s continued tracking
Robertson’s situation attracted attention during the January transfer window, with Tottenham Hotspur actively exploring the possibility of a move. Spurs identified the experienced defender as a strong fit for their back line and were initially hopeful of reaching an agreement.
However, Liverpool stood firm and refused to entertain the idea of a mid-season exit. Tottenham are believed to have revisited the situation on deadline day, seeking clarity on whether Liverpool’s stance had shifted, but the response remained unchanged. With the club still fighting on multiple fronts, Liverpool made it clear Robertson would not be allowed to leave during the campaign.
An evolving picture at Anfield
While a January departure was never on the table, the outlook beyond this season appears far less certain. Kerkez has earned growing trust, and Slot’s tactical approach places different demands on the full-back role, leading to a noticeable drop in Robertson’s minutes.
For a player long accustomed to being integral to Liverpool’s identity, the change has been stark. Those close to the situation insist Robertson has remained professional and a respected figure in the dressing room, but he is also pragmatic about where he stands at this stage of his career.
Robertson’s impact since arriving from Hull City has been immense, playing a key role in one of the most successful periods in Liverpool’s history.
