Reporting live from Anfield, Liverpool have reportedly reached a surprising decision regarding the future of Andy Robertson with the club. This unexpected development has sparked considerable discussion, as Robertson’s role and contributions have been pivotal for Liverpool’s defense.
Liverpool are reportedly set to initiate contract negotiations with a player whom Steven Gerrard has previously praised as "world-class."
Reports suggest Liverpool intend to initiate contract discussions with Andy Robertson in the near future. With the contracts of Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold set to expire at season’s end, the club is prioritizing Robertson’s future to avoid similar last-minute negotiations.
Fabrizio Romano recently revealed that Liverpool is also working on a new deal for Ibrahima Konate, signaling a proactive approach to retaining key players.
Football Insider indicates that Liverpool sees Robertson as the first-choice left-back and plans to begin contract talks next summer, a year before his current deal concludes.
Club leaders are keen to prevent the uncertain scenarios now faced with Salah, Trent, and Van Dijk. As a member of Liverpool’s leadership group alongside Alisson and these three players, Robertson is highly regarded within the squad.
Despite recent criticism of his form, especially after a challenging match against Arsenal, Robertson’s influence remains vital. Steven Gerrard once called him “world-class,” underscoring his impact on the team.
With his extensive experience, the Scotland captain would provide valuable continuity should Liverpool experience any turnover in its leadership ranks. At 30, and earning £160,000 weekly—considered moderate for Liverpool’s budget—Robertson still offers substantial contributions.
If Robertson continues as a regular starter under Arne Slot, he would likely be open to staying at Anfield. The hope is that his contract renewal unfolds more smoothly than ongoing discussions with Salah, Trent, and Van Dijk.
