Andy Robertson will leave Liverpool when his contract expires this summer, ending a nine-year spell during which he won every major trophy, including two Premier League titles and a Champions League. The defender was a £8 million signing from Hull City in 2017. Robertson is 32 years old, and he has found game time limited this season at club level.
Transfer speculation is not new for Robertson; he almost left Liverpool last winter, but the proposed move to Tottenham did not materialize, according to sources. A potential return to Celtic has been mooted for Robertson, who was at Celtic as a kid and had a season ticket. com.
Andy and I are very close, having been next door neighbours for years.
Kenny Dalglish has been in Glasgow this weekend promoting the live Scottish Cup action on Premier Sports. The Premier Sports coverage includes the quarter final tie at Ibrox between Rangers and Celtic on Sunday afternoon. Dalglish was asked for his thoughts on Scotland captain Andy Robertson making a move to Celtic in the summer, according to reports from the event.
Premier Sports can be watched via TV providers on Sky, Virgin TV, STV Player and Amazon Prime as an add-on subscription, and on the Premier Sports Player. Scotland supporters have hit out at astronomical ticket prices and costs for the World Cup. The specific clubs interested in signing Robertson after he leaves Liverpool remain unclear, with no confirmed suitors beyond the speculative links to Celtic and previous interest from Tottenham.
Andy makes no secret of what he thinks about Celtic.
Whether Liverpool has made any formal offer to extend Robertson's contract is also unknown, leaving open the possibility of a last-minute renewal, though his stated departure suggests otherwise. The exact date or timeline for Robertson's final decision on his future club has not been disclosed, though he has indicated a desire for clarity before the World Cup. How Robertson's limited game time this season has influenced his decision to leave Liverpool is a key factor yet to be fully detailed, though it is widely seen as a contributing element in his search for more consistent involvement.
The financial terms or contract details being discussed in any potential moves for Robertson are not publicly available, with negotiations likely to unfold privately in the coming weeks.
Andy was the first to call me when I was linked to Celtic and advised me to move there.
I told Andy 'it's a shame you're not here with me' and suggested he might join me at Celtic soon.
