Speaking to PLZ Soccer, Andy Robertson has opened up on his desire to spend the rest of his career at Liverpool Football Club.

Robertson has been at Liverpool for four years now, and despite only being 27 years old, he’s already thinking about ending his career at Anfield.

The Scot was asked if he’d like to join Celtic before he retired, but he says that his main goal is to stay at Liverpool until the end of his career.

What’s he said?

Due to his Scottish roots and boyhood affinity towards Celtic, the defender was asked if he’d ever consider moving to Parkhead, to which he replied:

“I get asked this question a lot. Look, my aim is to finish at Liverpool, and I’d love to finish at Liverpool, but I know how tough it is to keep playing at the highest level,”

The defender then admitted that if he can’t play at the highest level anymore he’d love to join Celtic, before reiterating his desire to retire at Liverpool.

“Time will come to make that decision. Right now I’ve still got a good length on my contract, I want to stay here forever and I hope to retire here, but you know if I keep going and I feel fit and I feel healthy, but when you get into your 30s things change, but I’d love to retire at this club,” Robertson concluded.

Legend in the making

If Robertson spends the best part of another decade at Liverpool he will have to go down as one of the club’s greatest ever servants.

He’s already a Champions League winner and a Premier League winner, and at the age of just 27, he could have the best part of 10 years ahead of him.

Who knows how many trophies Liverpool could win during that time, but when all is said and done, the Scot may end up going down as one of the most legendary players to ever pull on the famous red shirt.

Whether or not he does retire at Liverpool remains to be seen, but we now know that he’s really keen to stay at Anfield for the rest of his playing days.
