Andy Robertson will leave Liverpool at the end of the 2025\u201326 season after nine years with the club. The 32-year-old remains convinced he can operate at a high level and will captain his country at this summer\u2019s World Cup, yet the narrative around his trajectory has shifted. Back in 2021, Klopp labelled the Scot as the “best left back in the world.” Now he faces the reality that he is not the same player he once was.<\/p>\n
Any club considering Robertson must balance his experience against signs of decline, but a free transfer will attract interest. His early career began at Queen\u2019s Park, included a year at Dundee United and a development period at Celtic. He has been open about his adoration for Celtic over the years, and a return to the club before retirement seems appealing in principle. According to The Guardian\u2019s Andy Hunter, a move to Scotland is not believed to be in Robertson\u2019s thinking this summer.<\/p>\n
Rangers legend Ally McCoist has put forward an alternative: Hollywood-owned Wrexham as the ideal next destination, but only if they earn promotion to the Premier League for 2026\u201327. Robertson is not going to spend time in the second tier. Wrexham\u2019s route to the top flight took a hit when they were thumped 5\u20131 by high-flying Southampton on Tuesday night. The Red Dragons find themselves outside the playoff places, with the Saints two points ahead in sixth and having played one game fewer.<\/p>\n
A continental move remains an attractive option for a player entering his twilight. Atl\u00e9tico Madrid have previously looked to Britain for full backs, with Kieran Trippier enjoying a relatively brief but successful spell in the Spanish capital. Atl\u00e9ti, who look poised to end the 2025\u201326 season with silverware, have struggled to find a reliable left-sided option since Filipe Lu\u00eds departed in 2019. They were interested in Robertson last summer; the Scot rebuffed their previous approach, but the situation has changed 12 months on.<\/p>\n
These considerations shape five potential destinations ranked by suitability and likelihood as Robertson prepares for life after Anfield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
