Andy Robertson says he would welcome the opportunity to open talks with Liverpool over extending his contract beyond 2026 at Anfield, insisting he still has the quality to justify staying beyond his current terms.

Robertson will have 12 months left on his deal by the end of the campaign and has had some difficult moments across the season, despite making 30 Premier League appearances at left-back for a club who have kept a division-high 14 clean sheets.

‌

Liverpool have been continually linked with Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez, who is a decade younger than the 31-year-old Robertson, but the Scotland captain is adamant he still has plenty to offer Arne Slot as the Reds now head into the summer transfer window as Premier League champions.

In a chat with Reds legend Jamie Carragher for Football For Change's charity lunch at the city centre's Hope Street Hotel, Robertson outlined his belief that he can still be an important figure for Slot as the next stage of his squad building prepares to begin as champions.

"I have only got a year left," Robertson said. "So I hope all you guys (the fans) can help me with making the same noise around a new contract as you did with Mo and Virgil's! Maybe you (Carragher) can stop linking the club with other left-backs as well!

"No look, I've had eight wonderful years so far and I have a year left. I am not as young as I once was but I love this club and I have had some great memories here, so let's see what the future holds.

"I still believe I can still produce good performances and some really good performances and I think I have done that this season, so I still think I can produce at the top level and if I can do that then that is where I belong and hopefully I can stay here for many years to come."

A second title in five years for the Reds represents a remarkable achievement for Slot inside his first term at Anfield and Robertson is hopeful that the direction of the club means they are poised to dominate for the coming years.

The former Hull City defender added: "That is what we hope. It is so competitive now in terms of the teams who are involved and our team under Jurgen was unbelievable at times.

‌

"And if you look at the points we racked up and lost out on two league titles and then the one we wrapped up (in 2020), Champions League finals and stuff like that, it is something we're all proud of for how far we went but we also believe that we should have had more.

"And I think that is what has driven those lads who were part of that forward for this kind of new era. For lads like myself, Mo, Virgil, Ali, Trent, Joey Gomez, we have used it as a driving force and we want to experience winning the Premier League with the fans. We want to have that moment.

‌

"You know, 2020 was special in a different way, we lifted it on the Kop and in a strange way it felt as though the fans were with us when of course they weren't.

"But this time we will get a full house and the parade that we all deserve and I think that is what has been driving us forward. The lads' experiences have been key to that and I think we are all singing from the same hymn sheet."

Asked specifically when he felt Liverpool were capable of becoming champions of England for a 20th time, Robertson referenced the 2-0 win at Bournemouth at the beginning of February, which came via two late goals from substitute Darwin Nunez.

‌

That victory took Slot's men seven points clear before Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw later that day by Aston Villa and Robertson recalls being struck by the magnitude of the result as he left the pitch at the Gtech Community Stadium on the day.

"Off the top of my head, I think of Brentford away," Robertson said. "I just think in the Premier League, you always have to have results where it looks like it is going one way and it goes another. I think we obviously made two super subs on 60 minutes when me and Darwin came on...I am not sure I'll get the credit that Darwin will!

"But no, look, we were obviously struggling in the game, it was 0-0 and we needed something off the bench and maybe Darwin has been in a similar boat to Harvey Elliott where they haven't played as much as they would have liked. Or started as many games, but the impact they have had at times and the impact Harvey made in that [Brentford] game too, he was unbelievable.

"It just felt like walking off that pitch, it was a difficult game and you've won it 2-0, it just felt like now is the time to believe that we could do it and that was the start of a really good period for us."
