Andy Robertson to leave Liverpool at end of season

Liverpool left back Andy Robertson will leave the club at the end of the season — his ninth at Anfield — when his contract expires. The Scotland captain helped Liverpool win two Premier League titles, a Champions League title, the FA Cup and other honors since arriving in 2017.

The club’s announcement Thursday called Robertson “a genuine Liverpool legend” who has made 373 appearances.

“It’s never easy leaving a club like Liverpool, it has been a huge part of mine and my family’s life for the last nine years,” the 32-year-old Robertson said.

He said he had opportunities to leave in the past year “and I’ve not taken them because of how difficult it is to leave this club.”

“But I know football moves on, I know teams move on and I think now is the time for me to move on and go.
