Liverpool could end up parting ways with their veteran defender, Andrew Robertson, at the turn of the calendar.
According to a report from Fichajes, Andrew Robertson could leave Anfield in 2026. The Scottish international is no longer a guaranteed starter, and with Liverpool looking to bring in another left-back, they are considering letting the former Hull City star leave.
On the back of his impressive rise at Hull City, the Reds secure Robertson’s services in a deal worth just £8 million. The Scot went on to become one of their mainstays, and he has played a massive role in all the success they have had in recent years.
While he did play a big part in their Premier League triumph last season, the 31-year-old is slowly losing prominence in the team. With age catching up to the Scottish full-back, the Merseyside club ended up signing Milok Kerkez from Bournemouth for £40 million on a five-year contract as his long-term replacement.
While Kerkez’s dynamic and attacking profile suits Arne Slot’s system, the 31-year-old has struggled for consistency in the initial weeks. The Hungarian international has found it difficult to adjust to the pace of play at Liverpool.
Liverpool ready to part ways with Robertson
With Andrew Robertson struggling and his contract running out, the Merseyside club are considering signing another full-back in 2026. In order to make room for the new signing, the Reds are willing to part ways with Robertson.
While they won’t want to lose him mid-season, given how valuable his experience could prove to be at the back end of the season, Liverpool might not renew his contract and let him leave as a free agent at the end of the season.
Since the veteran full-back is no longer a prominent figure in the team, letting him leave will make significant room on their wage bill, allowing them to bring in a top-quality full-back, who could help them in this transition phase at left-back. Having played a part in just six out of their 12 games so far this season, Robertson might also prefer leaving the club upon the expiry of his contract.
