The 31-year-old has spent almost a decade at Anfield but has made just five league starts for Arne Slot’s side this season.
“There was obviously interest there, there were discussions had with both sets of clubs but the decision was that I wanted to stay,” said the Scotland international. “We stayed at Liverpool and that was the decision made.”
He continued: “I was never not committed. I’ve been committed to Liverpool for the last eight and a half or nine years now and I’ll be committed until I’m no longer needed. That’s always been my mindset. This club has given me everything and I’ve given this club everything.
“It’s been a fantastic relationship so hopefully that continues and obviously January happened, but it is now gone. Now we move forward and my focus never came off trying to help the lads on the pitch and in training.”
Liverpool won the league last season but are currently sixth in the Premier League. Despite this, the Reds are continuing to chase silverware in both the FA Cup and Champions League.
Robertson added: “Whatever was happening behind the scenes happened. All I can say is that I kept focusing on football.
“I’ve always said that it will stay between me and the club. I don’t think it will get played out in public. It is not one of them. I have got an amazing relationship with Richard Hughes and with Mike Gordon and Michael Edwards.
“I’ve had a good relationship with these people and these people brought me to the football club. They have helped make me who I am, so in that respect, we’ve had a fantastic relationship. I think out of respect to them, and they have respected me, then the conversations will be in-house.”
