Rasheed🍀 Robertson’s Celtic Homecoming Hinges on Two Major Conditions
Speculation is intensifying that Liverpool’s Andy Robertson is close to agreeing a pre-contract with boyhood club Celtic, but any such move is understood to be dependent on two critical factors: the player’s current wage demands and a guaranteed role as a first-team leader.
The Scotland captain’s contract at Anfield is set to expire next summer, allowing him to officially negotiate with clubs outside England from January 1st. A move to Celtic Park would be a highly sentimental homecoming for the left-back, who spent his formative years in the Hoops academy before being released.
💰 Financial Feasibility is Key
The first and most significant condition revolves around wages. Robertson’s salary at Liverpool is substantial, reflecting his status as one of the world’s elite full-backs and a Champions League winner. For Celtic, bridging this financial gap would represent a departure from their usual wage structure. Sources suggest that while Robertson is open to a substantial pay cut for the emotional move, the final negotiated figure must still be financially viable for the Scottish champions.
⭐ Role as an Established Leader
The second condition concerns his role in the squad. Despite turning 31 next year, Robertson still views himself as a top-tier player capable of leading the line. He would require assurances of a central, starting position and a significant leadership role in the dressing room to guide a younger Celtic squad. The potential for a high-profile, free transfer hinges on both parties successfully navigating the complex financial landscape and confirming his status as a cornerstone of the team.
Robertson himself recently stated he is “relaxed” about his future, focusing on football until the New Year, but the pull of Celtic remains strong.
