Liverpool are dealing with the contract situation of some of their key players.
Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk face uncertain futures at the club and the Reds are working to find a solution with all of them to keep them at Anfield.
Another player who is moving towards the end of his contract, despite still having less than two years left on his current contract, is left-back Andy Robertson.
Arne Slot rates the defender very positively and considers him the club’s first-choice left back.
according to Football InsiderLiverpool are set to open contract talks with the Scotland international defender.
The Reds are ready to open talks with the left-back as they do not want a repeat of the situation they have faced with Salah, Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk.
Robertson has been one of the club’s best players during their successful spell under former manager Jurgen Klopp.
The left-back has won the Premier League and Champions League with the club and has enjoyed success with them in recent years.
His ability to shield Liverpool’s defense and his work rate is something that has given the Reds defense an added dimension that has worked well in their favour.
Although Slot has played Kostas Tsimikas in recent games, he still rates Robertson highly and wants to keep him at the club.
The 30-year-old defender is a leader in the dressing room and his experience and composure at the back are key for the club.
Should Liverpool invest in a new left-back position?
Since joining the club in 2017, Robertson has been one of the best signings for the club in recent history.
Liverpool need an injection of youth in the left-back position and it would be better to sign a young left-back. However, that doesn’t mean they should allow Robertson to leave the club.
They have been linked to movements for Wolves defender Ryan Ait-Nouri i Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkezboth are having impressive seasons for their respective clubs.
