Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson remains confident about his future at the club, despite ongoing speculation linking the Reds with potential replacements.
The 31-year-old defender, who joined Liverpool from Hull City in 2017, has been a key figure in the team’s success under Jürgen Klopp. However, recent reports suggest that the club is actively scouting for a new left-back ahead of the summer transfer window.
Speaking during a press conference with the Scotland national team, Robertson acknowledged the speculation but insisted he is prepared for any competition that comes his way.
“I’m fully aware of the expectations and the possibility of new challengers arriving at Anfield this summer,” Robertson said. “Liverpool has been linked with pretty much every left-back in the world, but that’s part of football. Competition is always there, and I’m ready to keep contributing for years to come.”
Despite dealing with injury setbacks in recent seasons, Robertson remains one of the Premier League’s most consistent full-backs, known for his relentless energy, defensive solidity, and attacking contributions.
With Liverpool undergoing a transitional period as they prepare for life after Jürgen Klopp, the club is expected to make key signings in the summer. However, Robertson’s experience and leadership could prove invaluable as the Reds look to maintain their competitive edge.
For now, the Scottish international is focused on his national team duties, but he remains determined to play a pivotal role in Liverpool’s future.
Who Will Liverpool Sign To Replace Robertson
Liverpool’s top target to potentially replace Andy Robertson is Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez. The 21-year-old Hungarian has impressed since joining the Cherries from AZ Alkmaar and is now attracting serious interest from the Reds.
Kerkez recently changed agents at the start of the year, signaling his intent to secure a move away, likely in 2025. Liverpool sees him as a long-term successor to Robertson, given his defensive solidity, attacking prowess, and high energy levels—qualities that have defined the Scottish international’s game at Anfield.
As for the financial aspect, Bournemouth is reportedly demanding around three times the £15.5 million they initially paid for Kerkez, putting his estimated transfer value at roughly £45 million.
With Liverpool preparing for a transitional summer following Jürgen Klopp’s departure, the left-back position is one of several areas the club is looking to strengthen. While Robertson remains a key figure, the club appears keen to secure a younger option who can provide competition and eventually take over in the long run.
Whether Liverpool will meet Bournemouth’s valuation remains to be seen, but Kerkez’s name is certainly one to watch in the coming transfer window.
On International Career
Also, the Scotland captain has made it clear that international retirement is not on his radar, as he continues to add to his impressive tally of appearances for the national team.
The Liverpool left-back has been in high spirits, even jokingly reminding Scottish football legend Sir Kenny Dalglish that he is closing in on his all-time caps record.
Robertson is set to earn his 81st cap on Thursday when Scotland faces Greece in the first leg of their Nations League play-off. This milestone will see him surpass Darren Fletcher and move into third place on Scotland’s all-time men’s appearances list, trailing only Jim Leighton (91) and Dalglish (102).
