Andy Robertson’s Liverpool future remains uncertain as Tottenham explore a potential move for the experienced left-back ahead of summer plans.
Liverpool’s squad overhaul under Arne Slot has reduced Robertson’s role following Milos Kerkez’s arrival on a long-term contract this season.
Despite years of consistency and leadership, the Scotland international now faces increased competition and limited starts domestically this campaign overall.

At 31, Robertson wants regular minutes before the World Cup, making interest from Spurs particularly appealing at this stage career.
However, any transfer depends heavily on Liverpool recalling Kostas Tsimikas, currently on loan with Roma in Serie A this season.
Roma Loan Complication Clouds Robertson Exit
Roma’s stance complicates matters as they will only release Tsimikas if a suitable replacement is secured first during January window.
That condition creates a domino effect involving three clubs, slowing Robertson’s potential switch to North London significantly this transfer period.
Roma are under no urgency, preferring quality options, making an immediate solution unlikely for Liverpool and Tottenham this winter window.
Virgil van Dijk has publicly backed Robertson, stressing his importance and leadership within the Liverpool dressing room structure and squad, reports Liverpool.
The captain’s comments underline Liverpool’s reluctance to sanction an exit without guaranteed cover at left-back during the current campaign period.
Tsimikas’ close friendship with Mohamed Salah adds an unusual subplot to a deal balancing relationships and squad depth concerns internally.
For now, Robertson appears set to stay, unless Roma act swiftly and unlock Liverpool’s carefully linked transfer chain agreements soon.
