Liverpool Star Admits he has ‘Held Talks’ Over a New Contract

Much of the talk this summer has been over incomings at Anfield. Jeremie Frimpong has already joined from Bayer Leverkusen after Liverpool triggered his £29million release clause.

Now, the Reds are closing in on a record-breaking £126million deal to sign his former teammate Florian Wirtz, with an announcement expected imminently.

Once that is complete, Liverpool will turn their attention to completing a move for AFC Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez. That deal is expected to cost around £45million.

As a result of that deal, questions have been raised over the future of Andy Robertson, but the Scotsman has broke the silence himself.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Robertson spoke on his future, saying: “We have discussed it, of course we have.”

“You know the club have been…we’ve had good discussions with me and the club but what the future holds I am not sure.”

“All I know is tomorrow I fly off on holiday and it is well needed. I need a rest after a long season and then I look forward to pre-season, that’s all my focus is.”

“I can’t look too far ahead. I never have done that so I am not going to start doing that now.”

“I know the position I am in and I have only got one year left and lot is getting spoken about and getting said but my full focus is on being a dad for the next couple of weeks and enjoying that time with the kids.”

Impact of Kerkez’s Arrival

With Kerkez set to join, the expectation is for Robertson to take up a supporting role behind the Hungarian. With just one-year left on his contract, it’ll be interesting to see how Liverpool approach that situation.

As a 31-year-old, Liverpool have often let players of that age run their contract down, with Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk being the rare exception in that area.

There’s also interest in Kostas Tsimikas, who is expected to leave Liverpool this summer. Leeds United and Olympiacos are both interested in signing the 29-year-old.

A fee of around £15million should be enough to secure the Greek defender’s signature, who only has two years remaining on his own deal.
