Andy Robertson has shown his class once again with a heartfelt message of support after Liverpool confirmed another exit before the transfer window closes.

The Scotland international, who arrived from Hull City in 2017 for just £10m, has been a cornerstone of Liverpool’s success over the past eight years. Widely regarded as one of the club’s greatest bargains, Robertson has lifted every major trophy with the Reds. But with Milos Kerkez brought in from Bournemouth this summer, competition for his position has grown fiercer.

Speculation has circled around Robertson’s own future — with Atletico Madrid strongly linked — yet for now, he remains on Merseyside. The 31-year-old was even handed the vice-captain’s armband last week, reinforcing Arne Slot’s faith in him going forward.

However, it was the news of James McConnell’s loan move to Ajax that prompted Robertson’s touching gesture. The 20-year-old midfielder penned a fresh Liverpool contract before sealing a season-long switch to the Dutch giants. Sharing his excitement on Instagram, McConnell wrote: “Very happy to be here for the season, can’t wait to get started.”

Robertson was quick to reply with words of encouragement: “Love it Macca, good luck mate” alongside heart emojis — a message that resonated with fans who admire his leadership both on and off the pitch.

Despite some dip in form over the past two campaigns, Robertson’s influence remains undeniable. He played 45 games last season, amassing a remarkable 344 appearances, 11 goals, and 67 assists since joining Liverpool. With Kostas Tsimikas expected to leave on loan to Roma, Robertson’s importance to the squad looks set to continue.

While his long-term future may still hold questions, one thing is clear: Andy Robertson’s bond with Liverpool — and his teammates — is as strong as ever. ❤️⚽
