The veteran of Liverpool, Andy Robertson, said this Thursday that he is open to talks with the Anfield management about the issue of a new contract that would keep him at the current Premier League champions.

"CompetitionThe Scotland captain, in the final months of his current contract, lost his starting spot to Milos Kerkez, a summer window signing for £40 million (approximately R$268 million).But Robertson, the 31-year-old left-back, still made 20 appearances this season.Dilemma“It's a difficult question to answer. I have five months left and we need to see the option of staying or if there are options to leave,” said Robertson, who has won eight major trophies since joining the Reds in 2017.“I need to see what my family and I want going forward. I've given absolutely everything for the club over the last eight and a half years and the club has been very good to me. They rewarded me with good contracts when I played well. My relationship with the higher-ups at the club has always been excellent since the day I arrived.”Robertson added: “They signed me for £8 million (approximately R$53.6 million) (from Hull) and then doing what I did helps with that – I remind people of that all the time!The relationship is good and it's not exactly ‘what they need to show me and what I need to show them,’ as we've already shown enough respect to each other over the last eight and a half years and we'll see what happens.”Desire to PlayRobertson could have transferred to Atlético de Madrid after helping Liverpool win a second Premier League title in five years, but learned that Kerkez, 22, could take his place.But he insisted that his desire to play as a starter remains unchanged. “I think Jurgen Klopp left me out of a game and I was furious, so I'm a player who wants to play,” said Robertson, who might return to the bench in the visit to Burnley on Saturday.“I've played with injuries, I've played when I was only 50, 40, 30 percent fit for the club and for my country. I have a different role here this season, which I'm enjoying, but ultimately, players want to play, and if someone is happy sitting on the bench, then they don't belong at any football club.”*Content produced by AFP
