Andy Robertson has left Liverpool supporters uncertain about whether he\u2019ll still be at Anfield this time next year.<\/p>\n
The Scottish defender has entered the final eight months of his current deal, with journalist Graeme Bailey suggesting on Monday that talks over an extension will \u201cprobably\u201d begin around the New Year. By then, the 31-year-old will be eligible to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs.<\/p>\n
Having initially fallen behind Milos Kerkez in Arne Slot\u2019s pecking order earlier this season, Robertson has since reclaimed his place in the starting XI, featuring in Liverpool\u2019s last three matches.<\/p>\n
Robertson addresses his contract situation<\/p>\n
The Reds\u2019 long-serving left-back has now spoken publicly about his future, admitting that he\u2019s \u201crelaxed\u201d about what lies ahead while giving little away regarding a potential renewal.<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Independent, he said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever happens will happen behind closed doors and I\u2019m relaxed about the whole situation. If it is my last year, then it\u2019s my last year. If it\u2019s not, then so be it.<\/p>\n
I had quite a stressful summer with a few decisions to make, so I\u2019ve told myself to just enjoy the next few months. Eventually, it\u2019ll probably take over my life \u2013 that\u2019s what happens when you enter the final six months. For now, I\u2019m just focusing on football.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m delighted to be back on the pitch and playing regularly again. That\u2019s what matters most. The club has been amazing for me, and I\u2019m really grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robertson keeps fans guessing<\/p>\n
The Scotland captain\u2019s composed and diplomatic comments are typical of a player well-versed in handling sensitive contract questions. His remarks could either suggest confidence that discussions will naturally progress, or serve as a gentle hint that he\u2019s open to moving on for a new challenge next summer \u2013 as he nearly did with Atletico Madrid earlier this year.<\/p>\n
By that point, Robertson will be 32 and marking nine seasons at Anfield \u2013 a milestone few could begrudge him if he opts for a change of scenery. Still, many fans will hope he decides there\u2019s more left to achieve in a Liverpool shirt.<\/p>\n
His recent return to the starting lineup under Slot could prove crucial in determining his future. Should he continue to be preferred to Kerkez, the likelihood of a contract renewal may well increase.<\/p>\n
For now, supporters can simply appreciate having the ever-reliable and spirited Glaswegian back in the team \u2013 just in case this season does turn out to be his last in red.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
