Mohamed Salah says Andy Robertson will leave Liverpool as a ‘legend’ after issuing a heartfelt farewell. The Scottish defender will draw the curtain on a glittering nine-year spell with the Reds.

After being signed from Hull City in 2017, the 32-year-old has made 373 appearances for the Reds. He has helped the club to two Premier League crowns, the FA Cup , Champions League , Carabao Cup and a whole host of other trophies.

After Robertson’s upcoming exit was confirmed by the Reds, Salah took to social media with a series of pictures of the pair and their highlights at Anfield.

Taking to Twitter , he said: “With these pictures showing the bond we shared, I almost felt I could get away with saying nothing about you leaving. It’s been an honour to be your teammate and your friend. You’ve won it all and you leave as a legend. I’m sure we will meet again.”

Robertson will not be the only high-profile star to leave the club this summer. Egyptian forward Salah will also depart despite still having a year remaining on his contract at Anfield.

Speaking after his exit was confirmed, Robertson said: “I’ll let other people say if I’m a Liverpool legend or not – I think you know me well enough that I will never accept that. 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.

“The club means everything to me. The people within the club mean the world to me. The fans have always taken to me. I always remember my debut against Crystal Palace when I was a relative nobody – obviously signing from Hull City, only £8 million.

“I played my debut and already the Kop had sung my name. It was a moment I couldn’t quite believe. Then the next three months I’m not seen again, which I remind Jürgen [Klopp] of quite a lot!

“Then obviously when I found my chance, that’s what kept me going in that time and when I got my chance I just wanted to make the people within this club and the supporters proud of the left-back they’re seeing performing week in, week out.

“They have been outstanding with me, unbelievable with me. Always supported me, always been so positive about me. I couldn’t have asked for a better fan base. I couldn’t have asked for better people within the training ground, keeping me going.

“The nine years, I’ll look back with a big smile on my face. I do get emotional at times. Now is not that time but saying goodbye to everyone will be difficult. But it’s also the time to do so and it’s also something to celebrate with the nine years we’ve all had together.”
