Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk says he wants Andy Robertson to stay at the club as he remains a "very important" member of the squad.
Earlier this week, Tottenham opened talks with Liverpool in an effort to sign the left-back, who is out of contract in the summer.
"He's my vice-captain," said Van Dijk.
"Robbo is a very important member of our team and I want him to stay but whatever happens, let's see."
Robertson is no longer the first-choice left-back at Liverpool but is keen to play regularly again and is considering options that allow him to do that.
The Scotland international came off the bench to replace Milos Kerkez at half-time in Saturday's defeat at Bournemouth but he has started just four times in the Premier League this season.
Pushed on whether he expected Robertson to be at Anfield for Liverpool's Champions League game against Qarabag on Wednesday, Van Dijk said: "That's not on me, is it?"
The Liverpool skipper was then asked about his best memories of Robertson but insisted he would only "speak about that" if the move happened.
