Liverpool FC has officially confirmed that Andy Robertson will leave the club at the conclusion of the 2025-26 season. The Scotland captain, who joined the Reds from Hull City in 2017 for an initial fee of £8 million, will depart upon the expiry of his contract this summer.
A Legendary Nine-Year Tenure
Robertson leaves Anfield as a genuine club legend after nine highly successful campaigns. Over the course of 373 appearances, the 32-year-old left-back played a pivotal role in one of the most decorated eras in the club’s history. His trophy cabinet includes two Premier League titles, a Champions League trophy, the FA Cup, two League Cups, the FIFA Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, and the Community Shield.
His departure marks a significant shift in the dressing room, as the club loses another influential leader and a key voice who helped maintain high standards following the exits of veterans like James Milner and Jordan Henderson.
End of an Era at Anfield
The announcement on April 9, 2026, comes as another blow to manager Arne Slot, following the news two weeks prior that Mohamed Salah would also be leaving this summer. Having joined the club in the same summer of 2017, both Robertson and Salah represent the core of the legendary squad that brought domestic and European glory back to Merseyside between 2018 and 2020.
Robertson’s playing time decreased during the current campaign following the arrival of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth last summer, with Kerkez often being preferred at left-back. Despite interest from Tottenham during the January transfer window, Robertson remained focused on his commitment to the Reds.
Looking Ahead
Although Robertson is set to move on, the club has emphasized that the No. 26 remains fully committed to ensuring Liverpool finishes the 2025-26 season as successfully as possible. In an interview published by the club, Robertson admitted, “I think I sense better now that it’s out in the open.”
Fans can expect a poignant farewell when Robertson takes the pitch for his final Premier League appearance at Anfield against Brentford. While his next destination has not yet been confirmed, his legacy as a stalwart of the Jurgen Klopp era is firmly secured.
