Liverpool Shockwave! 'Legend' Andy Robertson Set to Exit Anfield
Andy Robertson will leave Liverpoolat the end of the season when his contract expires in the summer, the club has announced.
Robertson, 32, joined the Reds from Hull City in 2017 for £8m and has won two Premier League titles and the Champions League during his time on Merseyside.
In a video announcing his decision, the Scotland captain said: "I think now's the time for me to move on".
The defender added: "The nine years I'll look back on with a big smile on my face."
Robertson was a target for Tottenham during the January transfer window, with a deal agreed in principle between the clubs.
However, Liverpool decided they were not able to proceed with the move because the club was unable to recall Kostas Tsimikas from his loan at Roma.
Robertson has found his first-team opportunities limited this season under Head Coach Arne Slot with the arrival of Hungary left-back Milos Kerkez, who joined from Bournemouth on a long-term contract last year for £40m.
He has made 373 appearances for Liverpool and has won a total of nine trophies while playing at Anfield.
"This club means everything to me, the fans mean everything to me, the people connected to the club mean everything to me," said Robertson.
"I think I owe it to them still to, until my very last day, I'll give everything to this football club, which I've done over the last nine years and I'm very proud of that.
"The time to have the emotional farewell and tell the fans and the people connected to this club what they mean to me, that will come closer to the end. I don't think I'm quite ready for that yet."
Liverpool are fifth in the Premier League table and face Fulham at Anfield at Saturday.
It has been a difficult campaign for Slot's side, and a 4-0 FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Manchester City last weekend was followed by a 2-0 loss to Paris St-Germain in the last eight of the Champions League on Wednesday.
Robertson follows Mohamed Salah, who also joined Liverpool in 2017, in leaving Anfield in the summer. Ibrahima Konate is also out of contract at the end of the season.
Trent Alexander-Arnold joined Real Madrid last summer, Luiz Diaz moved to Bayern Munich and Diego Jota tragically passed away as the famous Liverpool side of Jurgen Klopp continues to evolve.
Virgil van Dijk, Alisson and Joe Gomez are out of contract in the summer of 2027.
