Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside club in recent months.

Andrew Robertson will be out of contract at Liverpool at the end of the season, and he was expected to be on the move earlier this summer. However, the Scot ended up staying, and it has to be a wise decision for the club. The Reds signed Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth in the summer transfer window, but the Hungarian international has not been able to hit top form yet.

Robertson has been much better than Kerkez, and Liverpool must keep him at the club for the foreseeable future. As per a report by TEAMtalk, the experienced defender could be tempted to join his former club Celtic in January. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

Liverpool have endured a poor start to the season, and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly and fight for trophies. They cannot sell one of their best defenders right now. Keeping him at the club until the end of the season will be the top priority for the Premier League champions.

Meanwhile, the report claims that an extended stay at Anfield is also very much possible. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can convince him to sign a short extension. Apart from his quality as a footballer, the Scot is one of the leaders of the Liverpool dressing room. They simply cannot afford to lose him any time soon.

There is no doubt that he would be an exceptional addition to Celtic if they manage to get the deal done. However, Liverpool simply cannot afford to let him leave. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks amid the veteran full-back’s links with Celtic.

Liverpool must keep their squad intact and bring more quality if they want to bounce back during the second half of the campaign. The Premier League champions are expected to fight for major trophies this season, but they are already seven points adrift of table-toppers Arsenal after losing six of their last eight matches in all competitions.
