Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson is nearing the end of his time at Anfield, with the club prepared to sanction his exit following the rise of Milos Kerkez as the new starting left-back. The Scotland captain is reportedly interested in a move to Atletico Madrid, and Liverpool are open to allowing the transfer to happen. This development marks a significant turning point after Robertson's highly successful spell at Liverpool, where he won two Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy.
According to experts and insiders, Liverpool have made the decision to replace Robertson, viewing Kerkez as a top-class option who will start regularly. This has created a clear pathway for Robertson to leave, and interest in him from other clubs remains high. However, Robertson seems reluctant to join another Premier League team, expressing a preference for moving abroad, with Atletico Madrid being the primary suitor.
Despite being replaced as the first-choice left-back during the summer by Kerkez, Robertson revealed in an interview that he did consider leaving Liverpool but did not actively seek a transfer. He emphasized his desire to play regularly and maintain high performance levels. Although his contract is set to expire next summer, Robertson is currently staying on as part of Arne Slot’s squad and hopes to contribute to Liverpool's success in the upcoming season before potentially moving on.
The potential transfer would end an era for Liverpool, as Robertson's connection with the club and fans remains strong. The move would also force Liverpool to rely more heavily on Kerkez and their left-back depth as the team adapts under manager Arne Slot. Fan and expert opinions speculate that this could be a major shift in Liverpool’s squad and transfer strategy in the near future.
