Andy Robertson has admitted his Liverpool future remains unclear as his contract expires in five months, with the Scotland captain expressing frustration over limited playing time this season. The 32-year-old left-back has held talks with the club regarding an extension but no firm offer has been made, leaving his next step uncertain beyond competing in Scotland's first World Cup in 28 years.
Robertson, who turned down Atlético Madrid last summer, confirmed discussions have taken place but declined to reveal details. 'We've had chats now which will remain private; we'll see what happens,' he said. 'I've got five months left and we need to see the option to stay or if there's options to go. After a stressful summer, I'm just trying to enjoy being a Liverpool player.'
The vice-captain has lost his regular starting role to £40m summer signing Milos Kerkez, starting only four Premier League games compared to Kerkez's 17. Robertson acknowledged the reduced role has been difficult. 'I always want to be on the grass and playing,' he said. 'I have a different role here this season which I'm getting enjoyment out of but footballers want to play. If anyone is sat happy on the bench, then they don't belong at any football club.'
Despite the uncertainty, Robertson emphasised his strong relationship with the club. 'I've given absolutely everything for the club and the club have been very good to me,' he said. 'My relationship with the people higher up has always been excellent. We've shown each other more than enough respect over the last eight-and-a-half years and we'll see what comes.'
