Liverpool are fifth in the Premier League table and face Fulham at Anfield at Saturday.

It has been a difficult campaign for Slot’s side, and a 4-0 FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Manchester City last weekend was followed by a 2-0 loss to Paris St-Germain in the last eight of the Champions League on Wednesday.

The news Robertson will be leaving comes after Egypt forward Mohamed Salah, 33, announced he too will depart Liverpool at the end of the season.

Both of them joined the club in the same transfer window and have been key players during the Reds’ return to success in recent years.

Robertson also formed a formidable partnership with fellow full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who left Liverpool for Real Madrid last summer.

He is sixth on the list for most Premier League assists since the start of the 2017-18 season with 56, while Alexander-Arnold has eight more with 64 and Salah is top with 92.

On his time at the club, he said he would “let other people say if I’m a Liverpool legend or not”, adding: “But from minute one I came into this football club, I wanted to be successful.

“I wanted to try to bring trophies back to this football club, try to help put us back onto a place where I believe this football club belongs.

“I’m very proud that I’ve been a part of fantastic teams that have been able to do that.”
