The defender is hopeful of a new deal as he heads into the last year of his contract.
Liverpool FC defender Andrew Robertson has said he would welcome the opportunity to extend his stay at Anfield beyond 2026.
Whilst chatting with Reds legend Jamie Carragher for Football For Change’s charity lunch at the city centre’s Hope Street Hotel (courtesy of the Liverpool ECHO), Robbo laid down the case for a new deal:
“I have only got a year left. So I hope all you guys (the fans) can help me with making the same noise around a new contract as you did with Mo and Virgil’s! Maybe you (Carragher) can stop linking the club with other left-backs as well!”
“No look, I’ve had eight wonderful years so far and I have a year left. I am not as young as I once was but I love this club and I have had some great memories here, so let’s see what the future holds.”
“I still believe I can still produce good performances and some really good performances and I think I have done that this season, so I still think I can produce at the top level and if I can do that then that is where I belong and hopefully I can stay here for many years to come.”
The defender also reflected on Liverpool’s past successes and near-misses under Jürgen Klopp and their return to the top after an accelerated rebuild:
“That is what we hope. It is so competitive now in terms of the teams who are involved and our team under Jurgen was unbelievable at times.”
“And if you look at the points we racked up and lost out on two league titles and then the one we wrapped up (in 2020), Champions League finals and stuff like that, it is something we’re all proud of for how far we went but we also believe that we should have had more.”
“And I think that is what has driven those lads who were part of that forward for this kind of new era. For lads like myself, Mo, Virgil, Ali, Trent, Joey Gomez, we have used it as a driving force and we want to experience winning the Premier League with the fans. We want to have that moment.”
“You know, 2020 was special in a different way, we lifted it on the Kop and in a strange way it felt as though the fans were with us when of course they weren’t.”
“But this time we will get a full house and the parade that we all deserve and I think that is what has been driving us forward. The lads’ experiences have been key to that and I think we are all singing from the same hymn sheet.”
It’s not an opinion everyone will share, but I think Robbo was still better than Tsimikas going forward this season. I would like to see him sharing minutes with a younger left-back in the future, which should help lessen the amount of minutes he has to play and bring down the number of defensive mistakes he’s made this season.
