Liverpool’s stalwart left-back Andy Robertson faces a pivotal off-season as he gears up for high-stakes contract talks amid an impending defensive revamp.
Reports from fotnet24.net reveal that the 31-year-old’s contract expires in June 2026, leaving him with just 12 months to redefine his future at Liverpool. Critics have scrutinized his recent performances, and the club is preparing to restructure its left-back lineup.
Liverpool’s management plans an aggressive summer transfer window strategy. They have identified Bournemouth’s rising star Milos Kerkez, aged 21, as a promising candidate to strengthen the left flank. Executives also considered Fulham captain Antonee Robinson, although they harbor concerns about his age.
Despite plans to acquire a new left-back, the Reds value Robertson’s contribution. He might adjust to a rotation role, yet his experience and leadership secure his spot in the starting lineup. Since joining from Hull City in July 2017 for around £10 million, the Scotland international has consistently delivered strong performances.
This season, Robertson appeared in 39 matches, starting 33 times, and logged 2853 minutes on the pitch. He recorded one assist, scored no goals, and collected five yellow cards alongside a single red card.
Key figures like Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold face contract uncertainty with their deals expiring in just over three months. Their impending departures add pressure to Liverpool’s defensive strategy.
Liverpool now leads the race to sign Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi this summer. The England international, who played 34 matches for his club this season, promises to fortify the defense.
Meanwhile, Liverpool continues tough negotiations with Ibrahima Konate over a new contract. As summer approaches, the club braces for a flurry of transfer moves and strategic squad adjustments.
