Liverpool are preparing for big changes at the end of the season. The Premier League champions might have to let one of their legends go.

The Reds began their Champions League campaign with a dramatic 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid. Virgil van Dijk scored the decisive goal in stoppage time.

Also, they have all their first four games of the 2025/26 Premier League season. However, there is one player who might not be happy with his current situation.

According to Spanish sources, Andy Robertson is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the 2025/26 campaign.

The 31-year-old has not started a single Premier League game this season. But the arrival of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth has pushed him down the pecking order.

Robertson did start against Atletico in Europe this week. But overall, minutes have been limited under Arne Slot.

Since joining from Hull City in 2017, Robertson has played more than 340 matches for Liverpool.

He has scored 11 goals and won both the Premier League and Champions League during his time on Merseyside.

Atletico Madrid are one of the clubs monitoring his situation. The Spanish giants had wanted to sign Robertson last summer but were unable to complete a deal.

Now, with Robertson’s contract expiring in 2026, Atletico could secure him on a free transfer. Reports suggest they remain keen to bring him to the Metropolitano.

The potential move would mark the end of an era at Liverpool. Robertson has been a key figure in one of the most successful periods in the club’s history.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson formed a formidable partnership under Jurgen Klopp. Both players could now find themselves facing off in La Liga next season in the Madrid derby.

Robertson’s departure looks increasingly likely. After nine years at Anfield, his future could now lie in Spain.
