The Athletic has revealed how Andy Robertson is feeling about staying at Liverpool

The Scotsman, a cornerstone of the club’s success under Jürgen Klopp, has found himself under rare criticism this season amid a transitional period for both the player and the team.

While the 30-year-old remains a key figure under new manager Arne Slot, debates about his form and future have emerged among fans and pundits—a departure from his near-universal acclaim in previous years.

Slot’s tactical adjustments have also placed new demands on Robertson.

The Dutchman’s hybrid system blends Klopp’s gegenpressing with more controlled buildup, requiring fullbacks to tuck inward defensively while maintaining attacking width—a balance Robertson has navigated with mixed success

Robertson himself has addressed the scrutiny with characteristic pragmatism:

“A lot’s been said about me this season—probably more than in my first seven years here.

If it’s me now, so be it—as long as it takes heat off others”.

What did the Athletic report on Andy Robertson?

It has been reported that Robertson is in ‘no rush’ to leave Anfield this summer, with it being suggested that he will have a part to play even if a younger option is brought in:

“If Liverpool find a young left-back with the potential to be a long-term replacement — Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, 21, is admired, for example — then Robertson, 30, can still play a part in the years ahead,” Gregg Evans writes.

“His contract expires in the summer of 2026 and Robertson is in no rush to leave.”

It is further claimed that a short-term extension for the left-back will not be outside the realms of possibility.

“A short-term extension is plausible.

Finding a buyer for Kostas Tsimikas is more likely than moving on Robertson.”

For now, the left-back’s story at Anfield remains one of resilience—a player navigating the natural ebbs of a long career at the highest level, buoyed by the faith of teammates and a majority of supporters who recognize his indelible contributions to Liverpool’s modern era.

Meanwhile, Liverpool-linked Milos Kerkez was recently quizzed on a potential Anfield switch, keeping the cards close to his chest:

“I’m just focused on playing and winning as many games as possible with my team.”

“A lot can happen in football, but it’s pointless to predict,” he said while speaking to Nemzeti Sport.

When pressed on whether he could see himself and Szoboszlai at Liverpool together, he gave a measured answer.

“It wouldn’t look bad, that’s for sure?

But it’s too early to talk about something like that.”

“I have big goals with Bournemouth, we still have a lot of games to win, that’s the most important thing right now.”
