Andy Robertson has insisted his commitment to Liverpool never wavered despite transfer interest from Tottenham during the January window.

The Scotland international confirmed discussions took place earlier this year after he showed an interest in a potential move.

However, Robertson ultimately chose to remain at Anfield, particularly as defensive injuries left the squad short of options.

“There was obviously interest there,” Robertson said. “There were discussions had with both sets of clubs. But the decision was that I wanted to stay. We stayed at Liverpool and that was the decision made.

“I was never not committed. I’ve been committed to Liverpool for the last eight and a half or nine years now and I’ll be committed until I’m no longer needed. That’s always been my mindset.”

“This club has given me everything and I’ve given this club everything. It’s been a fantastic relationship so hopefully that continues and obviously January happened, but it is now gone.”

“Now we move forward and like I said, my focus never came off trying to help the lads on the pitch and in training. Whatever was happening behind the scenes happened, and all I can say is that I kept focusing on football.”

Future still unresolved

Robertson’s contract is due to expire this summer, meaning the 31-year-old could leave as a free agent if a new agreement is not reached. Despite the uncertainty, he made it clear that any negotiations will remain private.

“I’ve always said that will stay between me and the club. I don’t think it will get played out in public. It is not one of them.

“I have got an amazing relationship with Richard and with Mike Gordon and Michael Edwards,” Robertson said.

“They brought me to the football club and have helped make me who I am. Out of respect to them, and because they have respected me, the conversations will be in-house.”

“When a decision is made, and we’re getting to the point where I only have three months left on my contract, it will be announced.”
