“I Still Believe” – Andy Robertson Speaks out on Liverpool Future and Reacts to Milos Kerkez Links | OneFootball

Andy Robertson Eyeing Liverpool Future as Premier League Era Under Slot Begins

Andy Robertson has made clear his intentions: he wants to remain a Liverpool player beyond 2026, and he believes he still has the ability to perform at the very highest level. Fresh off a season that culminated in a Premier League title—the club’s 20th overall and the first under new manager Arne Slot—the Scotland captain says he’s far from finished.

Speaking during a candid chat with Jamie Carragher at a Football For Change charity event in Liverpool, Robertson offered a glimpse into both his personal ambitions and his views on the club’s direction after a landmark campaign.

Contract Talks on the Horizon

With just over a year left on his current deal, Robertson hasn’t hidden his desire to stay. “I have only got a year left,” he said. “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!”

His message—part serious, part tongue-in-cheek—is clear: he believes he’s still playing at a level worthy of Liverpool Football Club. And the numbers support his claim. Despite a season disrupted at times by injuries and squad rotation, Robertson made 30 Premier League appearances and helped the Reds secure a league-high 14 clean sheets.

Rumours have linked Liverpool with a move for Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez, a rising star and a decade younger than Robertson, but the veteran left-back isn’t fazed. His focus remains on performance and consistency. “I still believe I can still produce good performances and some really good performances… 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.”

Slot’s Champions Set Their Sights on Sustained Success

Liverpool’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield sealed a dominant league campaign for Slot’s side—his first in charge following the departure of Jurgen Klopp in May 2024. For Robertson and the club’s experienced core, the triumph is validation and a motivation.

“That is what we hope,” Robertson said, when asked if Liverpool could build a new era of dominance. “Our team under Jurgen was unbelievable at times… but we also believe that we should have had more.”

He references past near-misses and historic nights as fuel for the future. “We want to experience winning the Premier League with the fans. We want to have that moment.”

The title won in 2020—achieved during pandemic restrictions—was a unique triumph but one lacking the roar of the Kop. This season’s success will be celebrated properly, with an open-top bus parade and a full house at Anfield. “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.”

Turning Points and Belief

Asked to identify the moment belief truly set in among the squad, Robertson points to a hard-fought 2-0 win at Brentford in February—a match in which he and Darwin Nunez came off the bench to turn the tide.

“You always have to have results where it looks like it is going one way and it goes another,” he said. “We obviously made two super subs on 60 minutes when me and Darwin came on… I am not sure I’ll get the credit that Darwin will!”

The late goals, combined with Arsenal’s draw against Aston Villa later that day, widened Liverpool’s lead and sparked a feeling of inevitability. “It just felt like walking off that pitch… now is the time to believe that we could do it and that was the start of a really good period for us.”

Legacy, Leadership and Looking Ahead

As Liverpool prepare for the summer transfer window and life beyond their most recent title, Robertson stands as both a leader and a symbol of continuity. Alongside Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez, he’s part of a group that bridged the Klopp and Slot eras—and that isn’t lost on him.

“We are all singing from the same hymn sheet,” Robertson said, with a nod to the unity that carried them to the top of English football once again.

The message is simple: don’t write him off yet.
