“I Still Believe” – Andy Robertson Opens Up About Liverpool Future and Comments on Contract Situation

Andy Robertson has expressed his openness to holding discussions with Liverpool regarding a possible contract extension beyond 2026.

The defender emphasised that he believes his performances continue to meet the standard required to earn a new deal and remain part of the squad beyond his existing agreement.

By the close of the current campaign, Robertson will be entering the final 12 months of his contract. Although the season has presented its challenges for him, the left-back has still managed to feature in 30 Premier League matches and has contributed to a defensive record that includes a league-best 14 clean sheets.

Despite ongoing speculation linking Liverpool with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, a player ten years younger than the 31-year-old Scot, Robertson remains confident he can still play a key role under new manager Arne Slot.

As the Reds prepare for the summer transfer window as Premier League title holders, the experienced defender insists he has more to give.

During a conversation with former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher at the Football For Change charity lunch held at the Hope Street Hotel, Robertson spoke about his desire to remain an influential part of the squad.

He expressed his belief that he can continue to make meaningful contributions as Slot begins shaping the next phase of the team.

“I have only got a year left,” Robertson said. “So I hope all you guys (the fans) can help me with making the same noise around a new contract as you did with Mo and Virgil’s! Maybe you (Carragher) can stop linking the club with other left-backs as well!

“No look, I’ve had eight wonderful years so far and I have a year left. I am not as young as I once was but I love this club and I have had some great memories here, so let’s see what the future holds.

“I still believe I can still produce good performances and some really good performances and I think I have done that this season, so I still think I can produce at the top level and if I can do that then that is where I belong and hopefully I can stay here for many years to come.”

Winning a second league title in five years marks a significant accomplishment for Arne Slot in his debut season at Anfield, and Andy Robertson is optimistic that the club’s current trajectory positions them to remain a dominant force in the years ahead.

The former Hull City defender added: “That is what we hope. It is so competitive now in terms of the teams who are involved and our team under Jurgen was unbelievable at times.

“And if you look at the points we racked up and lost out on two league titles and then the one we wrapped up (in 2020), Champions League finals and stuff like that, it is something we’re all proud of for how far we went but we also believe that we should have had more.

“And I think that is what has driven those lads who were part of that forward for this kind of new era. For lads like myself, Mo, Virgil, Ali, Trent, Joey Gomez, we have used it as a driving force and we want to experience winning the Premier League with the fans. We want to have that moment.

“You know, 2020 was special in a different way, we lifted it on the Kop and in a strange way it felt as though the fans were with us when of course they weren’t.

“But this time we will get a full house and the parade that we all deserve and I think that is what has been driving us forward. The lads’ experiences have been key to that and I think we are all singing from the same hymn sheet.”

When questioned about the moment he truly believed Liverpool could secure their 20th English league title, Andy Robertson pointed to the 2-0 victory over Bournemouth in early February. The win was sealed by two late goals from substitute Darwin Nunez.

That result temporarily extended Liverpool’s lead at the top to seven points, just before Arsenal drew 2-2 with Aston Villa later the same day. Robertson remembered being deeply aware of the importance of that win as he walked off the pitch at the Gtech Community Stadium.

“Off the top of my head, I think of Brentford away,” Robertson said. “I just think in the Premier League, you always have to have results where it looks like it is going one way and it goes another. I think we obviously made two super subs on 60 minutes when me and Darwin came on…I am not sure I’ll get the credit that Darwin will!

“But no, look, we were obviously struggling in the game, it was 0-0 and we needed something off the bench and maybe Darwin has been in a similar boat to Harvey Elliott where they haven’t played as much as they would have liked. Or started as many games, but the impact they have had at times and the impact Harvey made in that [Brentford] game too, he was unbelievable.

“It just felt like walking off that pitch, it was a difficult game and you’ve won it 2-0, it just felt like now is the time to believe that we could do it and that was the start of a really good period for us.”
