Liverpool\u2019s season has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. They won the 2024\/25 season by ten points, and confidence was high that they could repeat their success in the 2025\/26 season. However, the devastating passing of Diogo Jota<\/span><\/a> understandably affected Liverpool, and sluggish performances from key players have contributed to a poor season so far. They have recently been beaten comfortably by Manchester City in the FA Cup and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter final first leg. Liverpool have now announced that Andy Robertson will leave the club this summer<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Andy Robertson leaves Liverpool a legend<\/h3>\n

Robertson moved to Anfield from Hull City in 2017 and has enjoyed great success, winning two Premier League titles, a Champions League, the FA Cup and two League Cups, as well as the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Community Shield.<\/p>\n

Earlier this season, Kerkez praised Robertson and how he\u2019s made it easier for him to settle at Anfield. Describing their relationship, he said<\/span><\/a>: “Really good.<\/p>\n

“Before the game (on Saturday) he motivated me, told me: ‘Go outside and do your thing that you were doing last season’ so he gave me a bit of a push.<\/p>\n

“Then after the game he congratulated me and told me that I should keep going like that. We are good.<\/p>\n

“He’s a legend who did amazing things, won everything and still has quality. It’s not like he’s not here. He’s a squad player. This is Liverpool, we’re competing.<\/p>\n

“He’s pushing me, I’m pushing him and I think that’s important to have in a big club like this.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
