Liverpool officially confirmed that the Scotland captain will bring his decorated nine-year spell to a conclusion when his contract expires this summer. Signed from Hull City for a modest fee, the 32-year-old has surpassed all expectations, becoming a fundamental pillar of teams that conquered England, Europe, and the world under Jurgen Klopp and later Arne Slot. The club acknowledged his immense contribution, noting he will depart as a "genuine Liverpool legend" after making 373 appearances.
Reflecting on his decision, the Scotland international admitted that walking away from Anfield is the hardest thing he has had to do. "It has been a huge part of mine and my family’s life for the last nine years," Robertson said. "But for me, players move on, other people move on – the thing that stays the same is the club and obviously the fans. I’ve had an amazing nine years here. I think now is the time for me to move on and go wherever my next move is."
