Liverpool veteran hints at Anfield exit in the summer
Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson will assess his options over the next few months
Andy Robertson admits he has not played as much as he’d have liked this season and is considering a move away from Liverpool this summer.
The left-back joined the Reds from Hull for £8million in 2017 and has gone on to enjoy a trophy-laden spell at Anfield, winning the Premier League twice as well as the FA Cup once and the Champions League in 2019.
The Scotland international has made 362 appearances for Liverpool but has had limited game-time this season, starting just four Premier League matches due to the summer arrival of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth.
At just 31 years of age, and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, he would make an attractive signing for many clubs at home and abroad and Robertson will use the coming weeks to assess his options.
Asked if he would like to stay, he told BBC Sport: “Yes, but it’s a difficult question.
“I’ve got five months left and we need to see what the option is to stay or if there’s options to go and things like that. I need to sit down with my family and decide.
“After a stressful summer, I’m just trying to enjoy being a part of it and being a Liverpool player. I wanted to qualify for the World Cup and thankfully we’ve managed to do that. I need to see what myself and my family wants going forward.”
Footballers want to play – Liverpool full-back Robertson
Robertson is eager to play and hinted he has found this season difficult.
He added: “I think Jurgen Klopp left me out for one game and I was raging. So I’m a player who wants to play. I’ve played through injuries. I’ve played when I’m not 100% fit. I’ve played when I’ve only been 50/40/30% fit for this club and my country. I always want to be on the grass and playing and obviously now that’s not happening, so that’s what is different.
“I have a different role here this season which I’m getting enjoyment out of, but at the end of the day, footballers want to play and if anyone is sat happy on the bench, then they don’t belong at any football club.
“If you’re happy to sit on the bench, then I don’t think you have the right attitude. I think I’ve played well in the games I’ve played this season. Maybe I’ve not played as much as I would have liked, but it’s nothing I’ve been surprised by. Let’s see what happens.”
