The Scotland international, who will turn 32 in March, has been a central figure in Liverpool’s modern success story since arriving from Hull City for just £8 million in 2017.
In close to nine seasons at Anfield, Andy Robertson has clocked up more than 300 appearances and helped deliver some of the club’s biggest honours — the Premier League title in 2019/20 (with more potentially to follow), the Champions League in 2019, the FA Cup, multiple League Cups, the Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.
Known for his endless stamina, deadly crosses and fierce defending, Robertson became one of the defining symbols of Jürgen Klopp’s era.
From relentless pressing down the left flank to unforgettable solo goals at Anfield, he earned a reputation as one of football’s greatest bargains and a cult hero among supporters.
Fans often point to his commitment — including taking pay cuts during difficult periods — as the perfect embodiment of Liverpool’s “heavy metal football” identity.
But uncertainty is now creeping in. Robertson’s contract expires on June 30, 2026, and there has been little progress on a renewal.
Negotiations over a new deal have reportedly stalled, with no breakthrough as of early February 2026. Speaking in mid-January, Robertson made it clear he would like to stay, but admitted the situation remains unclear.
He acknowledged that he may have “options to go” and said he would need to assess his future with around five months left on his deal, describing the talks as calm but not ruling out this being his final season at the club.
Towards the end of January, reports emerged that Liverpool had held discussions with Tottenham Hotspur over a possible mid-season move, with the Reds said to be asking for around £5 million.
Although no deal was completed before the transfer window shut, the talks alone signalled that the club may be open to selling rather than risk losing him for nothing.
Commentators and outlets such as The Athletic have framed a potential departure — whether to Spurs or elsewhere — as “the end of an era.”
That sentiment has been echoed by supporters online, where reactions range from emotional tributes praising his legacy to more measured acceptance.
Some fans have also pointed to his reduced role under Arne Slot, having made just four Premier League starts this season amid competition from younger options like Milos Kerkez and Kostas Tsimikas.
Concerns over Robertson’s future are not happening in isolation. Ibrahima Konaté’s contract also runs out in the summer of 2026, with little sign of progress on an extension and reports suggesting he could be heading for an exit after a long association with the club.
This all comes as Liverpool quietly prepare for a defensive refresh, highlighted by a pre-agreement to bring in young Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet in July 2026.
While key figures such as Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Alisson appear more secure — with extensions in place until 2027 — Liverpool still face tough decisions as they reshape the squad in the post-Klopp era.
The idea of Robertson leaving, especially for a domestic rival like Tottenham, has struck an emotional chord with supporters.
For many, it feels bittersweet: a chance for a loyal servant to seek a new challenge, but also a painful reminder of how quickly chapters close at Anfield.
If no new deal is agreed, this summer could bring a deeply emotional farewell, complete with tributes befitting a modern club legend.
For now, Robertson remains focused on contributing whenever called upon, and Liverpool’s attention stays on the current campaign.
Still, as the season edges towards its conclusion, the uncertainty surrounding one of the club’s most loved figures has fans bracing themselves for what may be an unavoidable goodbye. You’ll never walk alone.
