Scotland’s captain Andy Robertson has told the media he will settle his club future before the summer World Cup. The 32‑year‑old left‑back, whose Liverpool contract expires at the end of the season, said a season‑long partnership with Mohamed Salah has sharpened his game. Robertson plans to reach a decision during the international break, leaving both Anfield and the national team in suspense.

Robertson arrived at Liverpool in 2017 and quickly became a fixture in a side that claimed the Premier League and Champions League. His defensive reliability and tireless work rate have also anchored Scotland’s back line since taking over the captaincy in 2020. With his current deal running out, the timing of any move could shape the squad’s preparation for the tournament.

Should Robertson stay, Liverpool retain a proven left‑back and a leader who can mentor younger players. A departure would force the club into the market for a replacement while Scotland would lose a steady presence ahead of its World Cup campaign. Robertson’s final verdict will be announced before the national squad is locked in, ending speculation for both camps.
