Speaking to Sky Sports on Thursday, Robertson explained that talks had taken place between him and Liverpool but was uncertain over whether he would extend a deal which expires in 2026. This uncertainty has sparked speculation about his future.
The most significant recent development is that Robertson is reportedly a "top target" for Atletico Madrid, with the player said to be open to the move. This represents a concrete link between Robertson and a potential move away from Liverpool.
Andrew Robertson, 31, from Scotland ➤ Liverpool FC, since 2017 ➤ Left-Back ➤ Market value: €20.00m, which reflects his age and experience level in today's market. From Liverpool's standpoint, there are strategic considerations at play. Reliable reporters have given two positions Liverpool will target in the transfer window, while claiming Kostas Tsimikas is "more likely" to leave than Andy Robertson. However, A contract extension would be a risk, given Robertson's age, but they will also know that he would then be able to leave on a free transfer next summer.
Liverpool appears to be planning for the future, with retaining his experience for another year and bringing in Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez as first-choice left-back makes the most sense being suggested as their likely strategy.
Robertson's situation reflects typical transfer market dynamics for experienced players - clubs must balance keeping proven talent while planning for succession, and players in their 30s often seek new challenges or final lucrative contracts. The Atletico Madrid interest adds a concrete dimension to what might otherwise be routine contract negotiations.
