Andy Robertson has signed a long-term contract extension with Liverpool. 

Robertson is the latest Liverpool player to sign a new long-term extension, with goalkeeper Alisson Becker, defenders Virgil Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold and midfielder Fabinho all inking new deals in the past month.

"Obviously when the negotiations started and it looked as if my future was going to be here longer term than what it was, then I think it's no secret that I'm happy at this club," Robertson said in a statement.

"I want to stay at this club for as long as possible and to extend my stay, it's always a happy time for me, for my family. We're settled here, we love everything about this football club and I'm glad that the journey is continuing.

"When you sign for a massive club, I still remember the day as if it was yesterday when I signed here and obviously you have ambitions to become a regular player for Liverpool, to win trophies for this club, to do everything else but the way it's gone has been excellent."

Aug 4, 2021 3:21 PM

Alisson has signed a long-term contract extension with Liverpool. 

Alisson joined Liverpool from Roma in 2018.

"Me and my family, we are really happy here," Alisson told the club's official website. "My kids are settled in England, in a different country, but they are growing up in that way. So we are really happy.

"I'm really glad that I can keep going on with my work here, doing a good job here. So, I'm really happy to make this decision -- that is not hard for me.

"We have to set goals and we have to set them high -- winning everything that we are playing [for], the Champions League, Premier League, the cups, everything. I think we can start from there.

"But obviously winning depends on what we will put on the pitch, what we will give on the pitch and we have to give 100 per cent at least. If we can push harder, we will go."
