Mohamed Salah has announced he will leave Liverpool at the end of the current season, in a move that comes a year before his contract was due to expire, bringing an exceptional spell at the English club to a close after joining in 2017.
The club confirmed it had reached an agreement with the Egyptian star over his departure, while Salah said the moment had come despite its difficulty, expressing his deep connection to the club and its supporters.
Details
Salah departs as one of Liverpool’s all-time greats, having scored 255 goals in 435 appearances, ranking third on the club’s all-time scoring list.
His top achievements with the team include:
- Winning the Premier League twice and the UEFA Champions League
- Claiming the Golden Boot as the league’s top scorer four times
- Forming a standout attacking trio with Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino
The decision comes amid a relative dip in form this season, along with tensions with manager Arne Slot, which escalated into public criticism after Salah was dropped from several matches.
Although he later returned to the lineup, he has struggled to regain top form and is currently dealing with a muscle injury sustained recently in the Champions League.
So far, Salah has not revealed his next destination. His departure on a free transfer means Liverpool will not receive a fee, despite previous interest from Saudi clubs.
What’s next?
Attention now turns to Salah’s next move, as he looks to finish his final season strongly with Liverpool.
