Andy Robertson reveals talks over future but welcomes competition at Liverpool
The 31-year-old Scotland captain is entering the final year of his contract and last season was something of a mixed bag in terms of his form.
Having seen long-time team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold run down his deal in order to join Real Madrid, Robertson may face reduced playing time should the club's chase for the £45million-rated Cherries full-back be successful, as expected.

But the Scot remains positive about his future and the challenge ahead.
'We have discussed it, of course we have. We've had good discussions with me and the club but what the future holds I am not sure,' Robertson told Sky Sports News about his contract.
'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 am not going to start doing that now.
'I know the position I am in and I have only got a year left and a lot is getting spoken about and getting said but my full focus is on being a dad for the next couple of weeks and enjoying that time with the kids.
'Then I will try to come back in the best possible shape for pre-season and then we'll see what the future holds when these decisions come.'
On the potential arrival of Kerkez, a 21-year-old Hungary international, he added: 'The club have identified certain positions where they want to get new blood in, it looks like players we're linked to are all younger players and they are all exciting players as well.
'When you play for a big club like Liverpool you expect challenges, you expect competition and I have always faced that, everyone here has faced that in their own positions and I expect nothing less.
'I want the club to be ambitious, they are doing that and wherever we fit into that, if we're happy with our role, we stay and we do it and if not then I am sure there will be a few out the door as well but that's the nature of football.'

Real Madrid sign Argentina teenager Mastantuono on six-year deal
June 13 (Reuters) - Real Madrid have signed 17-year-old midfielder Franco Mastantuono from Argentine side River Plate on a six-year contract, the LaLiga club said on Friday. The Spanish outfit had agreed to sign Mastantuono for about $45 million last week and the talented teenager, who can also play on the wing, will be a Real Madrid player from August 14. Having come through River Plate's youth system, Mastantuono was part of the first team in the 2024-25 season. In February last year, he becane the youngest scorer in River's history. He also became the youngest at 17 to play an official match for Argentina when he featured in their World Cup qualifier against Chile last week. Mastantuono had been linked to top European clubs such as Manchester United and Paris St Germain after a stunning free kick in River Plate's Superclasico win over Boca Juniors in April put him on the map. Mastantuono is Real's third close-season recruit after they signed Premier League defenders Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Andy Murray starts new career as AGONY AUNT as he reveals details of ‘terrible' first date with wife Kim
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ANDY MURRAY has started an unlikely new career - as an AGONY AUNT. The retired Scottish tennis legend has been delighting surprised fans at the Queen's Club tournament in London this week by giving his best advice to anyone who follows mysterious signs advertising 'Free Coaching'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Andy Murray carves new career as 'Agony Andy' Credit: BBC 4 He's offering up some 'free coaching' Credit: BBC 4 Murray with wife Kim at the races Credit: Getty A video shared by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) shows the three time Grand Slam winner holding court at the court now known as the Andy Murray Arena. It's a job the Scot unsurprisingly takes to with gusto, dispensing home truths to all and sundry. And it all culminates in a story he tells about his first date with his future wife Kim. Asked what a "perfect first date" would look like, Murray first suggested a bike ride then added: "First dates can be tricky. "I had a terrible one with my wife. We went to an okay restaurant but she wasn't speaking to me. "I had to take a break to go to the toile to compose myself." The Scot did something similar prior to the final set of his first Grand Slam win at the US Open in 2012, and some of the other tricks of his trade are here. Other highlights from the video include his top tip to young couples moving in together. "I'm saying this from the man's perspective, maybe you can tell him this, I've found that helping out with little things, like putting the dishwasher on, putting the dishes away, goes a very long way." Andy Murray admits embarrassment at being beaten by 5-year-old son in different sport Asked his advice to someone with ten days' annual leave left to take, he said: "I would travel somewhere, Get out of the UK, go and explore somewhere different. That is what I would do." Another member of the public asked Andy for his advice to solve her chronic issue with anxiety before going into meetings. The Scot said: "Think about all the things that are making you nervous, write them down, and then play out those different scenarios. "I used to do that before matches, I would write down the things that were worrying me then if those situations came up I would know how to deal with them because I've prepared to deal with them already." As for his advice to the young man who just wants to "Get ripped", Murray replied: " "Just go in there and lift huge." 4 It's got a ring to it...
