Andy Robertson has admitted he wants to finish his career at Liverpool. However, if that isn’t possible, the Scotland captain does have a 'dream' transfer in mind.
Currently under contract at Anfield until 2026, the 28-year-old joined the Reds from Hull City in the summer of 2017 and has been Jurgen Klopp ’s first-choice left-back ever since winning a starting role midway through the 2017/18 season. But while he’s every major honour going with Liverpool while establishing himself as one of the best left-backs in world football, he is facing increasing pressure from understudy Kostas Tsimikas to retain his place.
Set to be 32 when his current contract expires, Robertson wants to remain at a high-enough level to retain his place and finish his career at Liverpool. But the boyhood Celtic fan admits he is also tempted by the possibility of joining the Hoops, who rejected him for being too small when he was a child, one day.

However, he’d only wanted to sign the Scottish giants on one condition.
"Every time I watch Celtic, I consider it,” he admitted to BT Sport’s new Scottish football Podcast, Currie Club. “When you watch them and see a packed Celtic Park... as a fan you always have that dream.
“Ideally I want to finish my career here at Liverpool. If I can stay at the top of my game, at the top of the tree my whole career, that’s the route I want to go down.
“But also, when I look at Celtic and when I was growing up, I was thinking I wanted to give them my best years. When I was at Queen’s Park I had a dream of still playing with Celtic and always dreamed of giving my best years to Celtic.
“And now I don’t want to go as a 34 or 35-year-old old guy that my uncles start hating on me because I can’t move any more! Time will tell. I’m very much a person who lives in the moment. I don’t look too far ahead and I don’t often look back. There will be a time for that.”
