Andy Robertson: The Liverpool defender will leave the club at the end of the season. Football news.

Liverpool defender Andy Robertson will leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires.

Robertson joined Liverpool from Hull in 2017 and has won two Premier League titles, one Champions League, one FA Cup and two League Cups as well as the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Community Shield in nine seasons.

Robertson, 32, has made 373 appearances for Liverpool but has been second-choice this season following the £40 million summer arrival of Milos Kirkes.

Robertson revealed that it was difficult for him to leave Liverpool despite being offered to do so. Tottenham were in talks for the Scotland captain in the winter transfer window, but a £5 million deal did not materialise.

He said, “It’s never easy to leave a club like Liverpool; it’s been a huge part of my life and my family’s life for the last nine years. But for me, players move on, other people move on – what stays the same is the club and obviously the fans.

“I’ve had a fantastic nine years here. I think it’s been well documented, especially in the last year, that I’ve had opportunities to leave, but I didn’t take them because of how difficult it is to leave this club. And I wouldn’t change it for the world.

“But I know football moves on; I know teams move on and I think it’s time for me to move on and move on. Wherever my next move is and wherever my career takes me, I will always look back on the wonderful memories of this football club.

“I have dedicated nine years of my life to the club and I have no regrets.” I have grown as a man and as a person. This club will always mean the world to me; the fans will mean the world to me. The journey has been incredibly challenging.

Robertson follows Mohamed Salah, who also joined Liverpool in 2017, by leaving Anfield in the summer. Ibrahim Konate is also out of contract at the end of the season.

Trent Alexander-Arnold joined Real Madrid last summer, Luis Diaz moved to Bayern Munich and Diego Jota tragically passed away as Jurgen Klopp’s progress towards the iconic Liverpool side continues.

Virgil van Dijk, Alisson and Joe Gomez will be out of contract in the summer of 2027.

Robertson has left a legend.

Check out Andy Robertson’s best assists in the Premier League

Sky Sports David Richardson:

Andy Robertson will leave Liverpool as a legend this summer – not a bad £8m signing from Hull.

Robertson joked that he still reminds Jurgen Klopp of the limited chances the left-back got after his debut. Robertson played just once in 12 matches following his Anfield introduction, a 1–0 win against Crystal Palace, but remembers being stunned by how Liverpool fans sang his name that day. They could understand that he would come good.

Robertson has been more than just good in his 373 appearances for the club. He scored 13 goals but it is his 69 assists that will be his legacy. Sixty of those have come in the Premier League, leaving him behind only Trent Alexander-Arnold.

It was his partnership with Alexander-Arnold that became a standout feature in Klopp’s best side, raiding down both flanks, trading diagonal passes and providing chance after chance to Sadio Mane and Mo Salah.

Robertson has delayed his departure due to his commitment to the club, but the time has come. The energy that once defined his game can no longer be summoned so relentlessly, and Liverpool, shaping a new era, must look to the future – but they will not forget the drive, leadership and consistency that made him one of the best full-backs in their history.
