The legends who led Liverpool's golden age leave Anfield one after another. Andy Robertson (32), who has been a strong left-back following ace Mohamed Salah, will also take off his Liverpool jersey after this season.
British media 'BBC' reported on the 10th (Korea Standard Time) that "Robertson will leave Liverpool with the expiration of his contract this summer." Earlier, the Liverpool club also officially announced Robertson's departure.
"I think this is the time for me to leave," Robertson said in a video message, "and I will look back on the past nine years with a bright smile."
Robertson, who joined Liverpool for a transfer fee of 8 million pounds (about 15.8 billion won) from Hull City in 2017, has played in 373 games in nine years, lifting a total of nine trophies, including two in the English Premier League (EPL) and one in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). In particular, he led Liverpool's revival by building the world's best full-back combination with Trent Alexander-Arnold, who left for Real Madrid last summer.
Records show his greatness. Robertson is sixth overall in the category with 56 assists in the Premier League alone since the 2017-2018 season. With teammates Salah (92), Alexander-Arnold (64), he wrote a brilliant record.
However, Robertson's position under Arne Slot has narrowed this season. He only started six games in the league, giving up his starting position to Milos Kerkez, who was hired by Bournemouth for £40 million. In January, he reached the stage of a transfer agreement between Tottenham Hotspur, but he also stayed with the team because he failed to return Kostas Tsimikas, who was loaned to Rome.
Robertson said, "I'll leave it up to others to decide if I'm Liverpool legend. But I wanted success from the first time I came here, and I gave everything to get the team back to where it was," he said, expressing pride.
Liverpool's golden generation is coming to an end after this season. The news of Robertson's separation coincided with Salah's move to announce his separation from Liverpool earlier. The two players are symbolic beings who joined the same transfer market and created Liverpool's heyday together.
Former Scotland international Pat Nevin told BBC Radio 5 Live: "Robertson is too good a player to just sit on the bench. He still has the strength to play 30 to 40 games in the season," he said, supporting his new challenge.
