Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has confirmed that he will finalise his future before the summer. This comes as his legendary stint at Liverpool nears its conclusion, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, clarity is his priority ahead of the summer transfer window, so he is very determined to avoid any transfer distractions during the World Cup.
Robertson added that he wants his next move settled before he leads his country out this summer.
His words, “Will I make a decision before the World Cup? Yeah, that will definitely happen. For me, I will make up my mind before the summer and it’s always been in my head that I don’t want it hanging over me. I think that’s important, I don’t think anyone wants that and everyone would be in the same boat.
If you’re out of contract and sign a new contract, or whatever you’re doing – you always want that sorted before you go into a big tournament. I have always worked towards that and have been consistent with it. It’s only eight or nine weeks, so from now until the end I’ll sit down with my family and see what we want.
It’s not really one to talk about (Celtic). Obviously I was at Celtic as a kid and had a season ticket, that’s not a secret. But it’s not something I really want to get into.
The options that are on the table for me at the minute will stay private and that’s the way I’ve always done it. People can talk and there’s been a lot of talk around it, where I’m going to go next. I’ve seen it but I stay away from it all now.”
WOW.
Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.
Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.
The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.
Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
