Andy Robertson unsure of Liverpool future as club rebuild continues

The Scot, who is approaching the final year of his contract, said he expects Liverpool to be busy in the transfer window

Andy Robertson has admitted he is unsure what his future at Liverpool holds as the Premier League champions try to sign Milos Kerkez, but revealed he has been in talks with the club about his own situation.

Liverpool are interested in the Hungary international left-back, who Bournemouth value at £45m, as they continue their summer rebuilding.

Robertson will soon enter the last year of his contract at Anfield and said he has held meetings with Liverpool.

He made 45 appearances last season, starting 29 Premier League games, and has been a regular over the last seven seasons. However, Kerkez is 21, while the Scotland captain is 31 and waiting to see where it leaves him.

“We’ve had good discussions, me and the club. But what the future holds I’m not sure,” Robertson told Sky Sports News. “All I know is I fly off on holiday and I need a rest after a long season. And then I look forward to pre-season. That’s all my focus is.

“I can’t look too far ahead, I never have done and I’m not going to start now. I know the position I’m in, I’ve only got a year left and a lot is getting said but my pure focus is focusing on being a dad for the next couple of weeks.”

Liverpool have completed one signing with the £30m deal for right-back Jeremie Frimpong, while they have made a club-record bid for Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz.

Robertson expects them to be busy in the transfer window and said he believes there will be competition for places.

He explained: “At any big club you always have to keep moving. The club always moves forward. You’ve seen other big clubs like Man City be very active early doors in the window. I know we’ve only got Frimpong in the door so far but it looks like one or two are going to be close.

“When you play for a big club like Liverpool you expect challenges, you expect to have competition, I've always faced that and so has everyone in their own positions.

“We want the club to be ambitious, they're doing that and wherever we fit into that, if you’re happy with the role you stay and do it and if you’re not then I'm sure there will be some people out the door as well. That's the nature of football.”
