However, Robertson himself stirred the pot by admitting he was in the dark over where he would play next season during an interview earlier this week.
Speaking to News at his AR26 Charity day, Robertson said: “We have discussed [my future], of course we have. We’ve had good discussions, me and the club, but what the future holds, I’m not sure.
"All I know is I fly off on holiday and it’s well needed. I need a rest after a long season, and then I look forward to pre-season. That’s all my focus is. I can’t look too far ahead, I never have done that so I’m not going to start doing that now. I know the position I’m in, I know I’ve only got a year left.
"A lot’s getting spoken about it, a lot’s getting said, but my pure focus is focussing on being a dad for the next couple of weeks and enjoying that time with the kids. Then I’ll try and come back in the best shape possible for pre-season, and then we’ll see what the future holds when those decisions come."
Robertson has one year left on his Liverpool contract and could end up leaving on a free transfer if he does not exit this summer.
Fellow left-back Kostas Tsimikas is another player who is being linked with making way for Kerkez should the Hungarian star arrive.
Robertson has played a total of 342 times for Liverpool since joining from eight years ago, scoring 11 goals.
