‘It’s been a hell of a journey’: Andy Robertson to ‘give everything’ to Liverpool until summer exit | OneFootball

Andy Robertson will ‘give everything’ from now until the end of the season in order to finish his Liverpool career on a high after it was confirmed that he will depart Anfield this summer.

The club confirmed Robertson’s exit with a statement on their website and labelled the 32-year-old left-back as a “genuine Liverpool legend”.

Robertson reflected on his nine years at Liverpool where he won every possible trophy including the Premier League and Champions League. He said that he would look back on “amazing memories” but still owed it to the fans to perform at his best when called on for the remainder of this campaign.

The left-back has dropped down the pecking order this year following the summer arrival of Milos Kerkez but can help the Reds finish in the top four and secure Champions League football next year.

“It’s never easy leaving a club like Liverpool. It’s been a huge part of mine, and my family’s, life for the last nine years,” Robertson said. “But, I know football moves on, I know teams move on and I think now’s the time, obviously, for me to move on.

“You know, I’ll always look back on amazing memories at this football club. I’ve put my heart and soul into the club for nine years and when I got my chance I just wanted to make the people within this club and the supporters proud of the left-back they’re seeing perform week in, week out.

“I know my journeys coming to an end, I know it’s been an incredible journey but I won’t let up. This club means everything to me, the fans mean everything to me, the people connected to the club mean everything to me. I think I owe it to them still, until my very last day, I’ll give everything to this football club.

“The time to have the emotional farewell and tell the fans what they mean to me, that will come closer to the end. I don’t think I’m quite ready for that yet.

“It’s been a hell of a journey.”

Liverpool’s statement acknowledged Robertson’s impact at the club and announced a celebration of his time at Anfield at the end of the season. The statement reads: “After nine hugely successful campaigns at Anfield, the Scotland captain will leave the club upon the expiry of his contract this summer.

“He will do so as a genuine Liverpool legend, having played a fundamental role in the successes of recent years over the course of his 373 appearances to date.

“Signed from Hull City in 2017, Robertson has won two Premier League titles, a Champions League, the FA Cup and two League Cups, as well as the Fifa Club World Cup, Uefa Super Cup and Community Shield.

“However, celebration of Robertson’s Liverpool legacy is firmly on hold until the conclusion of the campaign, with the No.26 fully focused on helping the Reds end 2025-26 as successfully as possible.”
