Liverpool<\/a> defender Andy Robertson would like to remain at Liverpool<\/a> beyond this summer when his contract expires – but says he’s “a player who wants to play”.<\/p>\n

Robertson, 31, added that nothing has been decided yet, despite discussions with the club.<\/p>\n

Asked if he would like to stay, the Scotland international said: “Yes, but it’s a difficult question.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“After a stressful summer, I’m just trying to enjoy being a part of it and being a Liverpool<\/a> player. <\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Robertson, who signed for Liverpool<\/a> for \u00a38m from Hull City in 2017 during Jurgen Klopp’s reign, has played 362 times for the Reds but has started just four Premier League games this season.<\/p>\n

Hungary international Milos Kerkez, 22, has been Liverpool<\/a>‘s first-choice left-back since making the move from Bournemouth<\/a> for \u00a340m last summer.<\/p>\n

Asked if the amount of game time he gets between now and the end of the season would have an impact on his future, Robertson said: “I can focus on the last eight and a half years. I think Jurgen Klopp left me out for one game and I was raging. So I’m a player who wants to play.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool defender Andy Robertson would like to remain at Liverpool beyond this summer when his contract expires –…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-246132","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
