**Andy Robertson has now made a big claim about being offered a contract extension at Liverpool, having announced his exit this summer.**
The 32-year-old is an undoubted Reds legend, having contributed so much at left-back since arriving from Hull City back in 2017, but he is now nearing his exit.
Robertson has confirmed that he will depart Liverpool at the end of the season, with a verbal agreement reportedly in place with Tottenham, should they avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Now, in quotes shared by [_This Is Anfield_](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2026/04/andy-robertson-reveals-no-new-liverpool-contract-on-the-table/), Robertson has revealed that Liverpool never offered him a new deal, making his decision about leaving easier:
_“It means I don’t need to lie to everyone, so it’s a weight off my shoulders. It’s not like I’ve knocked back a contract or anything, there was no contract on the table._
_“It was a conversation we all had. It was a conversation of, ‘Okay, this is what I want to do, I want to play and I believe I’ve still got the ability to play.’_
_“I think I have showed that this season.”_
**Did Andy Robertson merit a new Liverpool deal?**
--------------------------------------------------
Ultimately, Robertson leaving this summer probably feels like the best outcome for all parties, with the Scot wanting to be a regular, which is no longer the case at Liverpool.
At 32, he isn’t the marauding world-class left-back he was in his prime, but he is still a class act, with [Arne Slot](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/great-player-and-great-person-arne-slot-andy-robertson-announcement) hailing him after his exit announcement, saying:
_“First of all, he had many great seasons here as a player, but I think people got to know him as a great person as well. I got to know him as a great person. I think every teammate of his will tell you how funny he is and how great of a person he is.”_
There is an argument to say that Robertson could have continued as a good squad player for another two seasons, but it looks as though Liverpool felt differently.
The Scotland captain is going to be an extremely hard player to replace, both because of his ability and his leadership, and it’s now up to Milos Kerkez to find new gears as Liverpool’s first-choice left-back.
