Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson’s current contract is due to expire in 2026.

The Scotland international has been at Anfield since 2017 - winning the Premier League twice, the Champions League and several other major honours throughout his time at the club.

Robbo will go down as one of the club’s greatest transfers - signed for around £8m from Hull City following their relegation. But time is catching up on the defender.

Robertson out of contract in 2026

Last season he put a few iffy performances - meaning sporting director Richard Hughes would sign Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez for £40m.

Kerkez, 22, was expected to be the Liverpool starting left-back for the 2025/26 season and it initially started like that.

But Robertson has come roaring back to take his place in the team - proving correct his decision to turn down a deal with Atletico Madrid last summer.

The Reds however still face the prospect of losing their experienced leader at the end of the season. Earning around £160k per week, the club would have to think very carefully about offering him a lucrative new deal.

Robertson accepts Celtic move

At 31, and with Kerkez for company, Liverpool could be committing a lot of money on a reserve player who won’t play much. The other option would be for Robertson to see out his deal and leave on a free transfer.

It’s been speculated that he is target for Celtic in Scotland - the club he is reported to have supported as a boy. And now a report in Fichajes claims that Robertson’s decision has been made.

A pre-contract agreement with the Bhoys is close and could even be announced as soon as January.

“The deal is almost finalized as a free transfer this summer, with a pre-contract possible as early as January,” the report reads.

We will take these reports with a pinch of salt for now - but it is true that there are no guarantees over the player’s future. It’s very much up in the air with Hughes declining to hold talks about a new deal up to now.
