Andy Robertson has entered the final stretch of his Liverpool contract, with less than eight months remaining on his current deal. However, a trusted transfer insider has suggested that discussions over a new agreement could begin in the near future.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old defender, who joined Liverpool from Hull City in July 2017, is now the third-longest serving player in the squad. Despite admitting that he was close to joining Atletico Madrid over the summer, Robertson has continued to show his commitment to the Reds.<\/p>\n
Recently, Football Insider\u2019s Pete O\u2019Rourke reported that Celtic \u2014 the club Robertson supported growing up \u2014 are keeping tabs on his situation as a key decision on his future approaches.<\/p>\n
According to transfer expert Graeme Bailey, Liverpool are expected to initiate contract talks with the Scotland captain around the New Year, when he\u2019ll be six months away from being eligible to leave on a free transfer. Speaking to 67 Hail Hail, Bailey explained:<\/p>\n
> \u201cEveryone knows Robertson\u2019s connection with Celtic, but I\u2019m told he still believes he has a future at Liverpool. His deal is running down, but the club are likely to start talks with him soon \u2014 probably heading into the New Year. It won\u2019t be a long-term extension, but he\u2019s shown he\u2019s still capable of performing at the top level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Robertson started the season behind Milos Kerkez in the pecking order, he has reclaimed his place as Arne Slot\u2019s first-choice left-back in recent matches. His intelligent positioning and sharp movement \u2014 such as drawing defenders away at corners to create space for Virgil van Dijk \u2014 continue to make him a valuable asset on the pitch.<\/p>\n
Off the field, Robertson\u2019s leadership and professionalism remain just as important. Much like James Milner before him, the Scotland skipper plays a key role in setting standards within the squad and mentoring younger players, drawing from his vast experience and trophy-winning pedigree that includes Premier League and Champions League triumphs.<\/p>\n
With Kerkez still adapting to life at Anfield, it would make perfect sense for Liverpool to extend Robertson\u2019s stay a bit longer. While delaying talks until January could risk interest from foreign clubs, Bailey\u2019s update suggests the player\u2019s desire is to continue his journey at Liverpool \u2014 news that would surely delight fans across the Kop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
