Andy Robertson announces decision on Liverpool future | OneFootball

Andy Robertson has announced that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. 

The left-back’s contract with the club expires this summer, which had led to speculation over his future, but he has now confirmed that he will be departing Anfield after a trophy-laden nine-year spell.

Robertson joined the Reds from Hull City for an initial £8 million in 2017 and turned out to be one of the club’s best value signings of all time. He played a key role in the teams that won two Premier League titles, the UEFA Champions League and three cups.

The Scotland international will follow Mo Salah out the door this year after the Egyptian winger announced his decision to leave last month, signalling another summer of change at Liverpool.

Andy Robertson to leave Liverpool this summer

“I’ll let other people say if I’m a Liverpool legend or not – I think you know me well enough that I will never accept that. But from minute one I came into this football club, I wanted to be successful,” he said.

“I wanted to try to bring trophies back to this football club, try to help put us back onto a place where I believe this football club belongs.

“I’m very proud that I’ve been a part of fantastic teams that have been able to do that. The club means everything to me. The people within the club mean the world to me. The fans have always taken to me.

“I always remember my debut against Crystal Palace when I was a relative nobody – obviously signing from Hull City, only £8m. I played my debut and already the Kop had sung my name. It was a moment I couldn’t quite believe. Then the next three months I’m not seen again, which I remind Jürgen [Klopp] of quite a lot!

“Then obviously when I found my chance, that’s what kept me going in that time 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 performing week in, week out.

“They have been outstanding with me, unbelievable with me. Always supported me, always been so positive about me. I couldn’t have asked for a better fan base. I couldn’t have asked for better people within the training ground, keeping me going.

“The nine years, I’ll look back with a big smile on my face. I do get emotional at times. Now is not that time but saying goodbye to everyone will be difficult. But it’s also the time to do so and it’s also something to celebrate with the nine years we’ve all had together.”
