Mohamed Salah has confirmed he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, bringing the curtain down on a remarkable nine-year spell that has cemented his status among the club’s modern greats.
The 33-year-old forward, who joined from AS Roma in 2017, has made 435 appearances and scored 255 goals for Liverpool — placing him third on the النادي’s all-time scoring list behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.
Salah’s tenure at Anfield has been defined by sustained elite performance and silverware. He has claimed four Premier League Golden Boots and played a central role in title-winning campaigns in 2019/20 and 2024/25, while also spearheading the الفريق’s triumph in the 2019 UEFA Champions League. His honours list further includes the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups.
However, his final season has been marked by a dip in output — with five league goals compared to 29 in the previous campaign — and growing tensions behind the scenes. A public fallout with manager Arne Slot in December intensified speculation over his future, with Salah openly criticising his treatment after a series of benchings.
In a video message addressing supporters, Salah confirmed his impending departure, describing it as the beginning of a farewell to a club that has defined the peak of his career. He spoke of a deep emotional connection to Liverpool, highlighting the bond formed with the city, teammates, and fans over nearly a decade.
The Egyptian also reflected on shared successes and personal challenges, including the emotional impact of the tragic death of teammate Diogo Jota last year. His message underlined a sense of gratitude and belonging, reinforcing his enduring connection to the club despite his exit.
Salah’s representative, Ramy Abbas Issa, added that no decision has yet been made regarding the forward’s next destination, leaving his future open ahead of the summer transfer window.
Despite injury concerns — including a recent setback after scoring in a 4-0 victory over Galatasaray — Salah is expected to play a key role in Liverpool’s push for further silverware before his departure. He missed the recent defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion but remains central to the club’s ambitions.
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes Salah will be driven to secure the perfect ending, potentially guiding the club to Champions League glory in what would represent an iconic farewell.
As Liverpool prepare for life after one of their most influential players, Salah’s legacy is already firmly established — defined by consistency, elite output, and transformative impact during one of the club’s most successful modern eras.
