Andy Robertson Will Liverpool at End of the 2025-26 Season

Liverpool FC has officially confirmed that Andy Robertson will bring his illustrious career at the club to an end at the conclusion of the 2025-26 season. The 32-year-old Scottish left-back will depart upon the expiry of his contract this summer, ending a remarkable nine-year spell at Anfield. Robertson, who joined Liverpool from Hull City in 2017 for an initial £8 million, has established himself as a genuine Liverpool legend, playing a fundamental role in the club’s recent successes.

With 373 appearances to date, Robertson has won nine major trophies including two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, and the Community Shield. His departure follows Mohamed Salah’s earlier announcement that he too will leave Merseyside at the end of the current campaign, marking the end of an era for the Reds.

A Nine-Year Journey at Anfield

Andy Robertson arrived at Anfield in July 2017 from Hull City with little fanfare. Initially, he struggled to break into Klopp’s starting eleven, spending time behind Alberto Moreno. However, once he seized his opportunity, Robertson became an integral part of Liverpool’s transformation into a dominant force.

Over nine seasons, Robertson established himself as one of the Premier League’s finest left-backs. He is the second-highest assisting defender in the competition’s history with 60 assists. His attacking prowess combined with defensive solidity made him a cornerstone of Liverpool’s success. Robertson was part of the squad that won the UEFA Champions League in 2019 and claimed two Premier League titles.

Andy Robertson’s Liverpool Career Highlights

Recent Season and Playing Time

The 2025-26 season has seen Robertson’s first-team opportunities significantly diminish following Liverpool’s signing of Hungarian left-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth. The 21-year-old has emerged as the club’s primary left-back, with Robertson making just 15 starts this season. Despite reduced playing time, Robertson was named vice-captain last year, underscoring his continued value to the dressing room as a leader and mentor.

The tactical shift under manager Arne Slot has also contributed to Robertson’s reduced role, as the club implements a different approach to the one he flourished under Klopp. At 32 years old and with limited opportunities ahead, the mutual decision for Robertson to move on represents a natural progression for both player and club.

Looking Forward

Liverpool will provide Robertson with a poignant send-off when he plays at Anfield for the final time in the Reds’ final Premier League fixture of the season against Brentford. The club’s statement described Robertson as “a genuine Liverpool legend,” reflecting his immense contribution to the club’s recent golden period.

Robertson has already attracted interest from several top European clubs during his free agency, with reports linking him to Napoli, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, and Tottenham Hotspur. His status as an experienced left-back on a free transfer makes him an attractive option for ambitious clubs seeking leadership and quality in their squad.
