LIVERPOOL, England – In a move that reverberates through the football world, Mohamed Salah has confirmed he will leave Liverpool at the end of the current season. The Egyptian superstar, a pivotal figure in the club’s recent successes, announced his departure via a video posted on social media Tuesday, bringing an end to a nine-year association with the Merseyside club.
Salah’s announcement marks the end of an era for Liverpool fans, who have witnessed the winger grow a global icon and one of the Premier League’s most prolific goalscorers. The 33-year-old, as verified by Wikipedia [1], expressed profound gratitude for his time at Anfield, acknowledging the deep connection he forged with the club, the city, and its supporters.
“I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, this people, would become part of my life,” Salah stated in his emotional message. “Liverpool is not just a football club, it’s a passion, it’s a history, it’s a spirit. I can’t explain in words to anyone not part of this club.”
A Legacy Forged in Red
Salah arrived at Liverpool in 2017 from Roma and quickly established himself as a transformative player. During his tenure, he has amassed an impressive array of silverware, including two Premier League titles (2020, 2025), two Carabao Cups (2022, 2024), an FA Cup (2022), a Community Shield (2022), a UEFA Super Cup (2019), and a FIFA Club World Cup (2019). Perhaps the most cherished achievement for Liverpool supporters is the Champions League triumph in 2019.
The Egyptian international’s goal-scoring record is nothing short of phenomenal. According to reports, Salah has scored 255 goals in 435 appearances for Liverpool across all competitions, making him the third-highest scorer in the club’s history [3]. He was also the unanimous player of the year as Liverpool lifted the Premier League title in 2025.
However, the current campaign has been marked by challenges for both Salah and the team. An explosive interview in November, where he accused the club of “throwing him under the bus,” hinted at underlying tensions, though he later issued an apology [3]. This season’s difficulties appear to have contributed to his decision to seek a new challenge.
“You’ve Given Me the Best Time of My Life”
In his farewell message, Salah was effusive in his praise for the Liverpool supporters. “I don’t have enough words for the fans,” he said. “The support you showed me through the best time of my career and you stood by me in the toughest times, it’s something I will never forget. And something I will take with me always.”
He continued, “Parting is never easy. You’ve given me the best time of my life. I will always be one of you. This club will always be my home. For me and for my family. Thank you for everything. Because of you, I will never walk alone.” The phrase, echoing the club’s iconic anthem, resonated deeply with fans worldwide.
What’s Next for Salah?
While Salah’s next destination remains undisclosed, speculation is already rife. The timing of his announcement, coupled with his previous comments, suggests a carefully considered move. Several top European clubs are likely to be vying for his signature, and a move to the Saudi Pro League has also been rumored, though not confirmed.
Despite the impending departure, Salah remains fully committed to Liverpool for the remainder of the season. The club faces a crucial quarter-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on April 8th and 14th. He will also represent Egypt at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, providing another platform to showcase his talent on the international stage.
Liverpool fans will have the opportunity to bid a proper farewell to their talisman in the coming weeks. The club is expected to organize a fitting tribute to honor his contributions during his nine years of service. His departure leaves a significant void in the Liverpool squad, and the club will face the challenge of finding a suitable replacement.
Mohamed Salah’s impact on Liverpool Football Club extends far beyond goals and trophies. He has become a symbol of hope, resilience, and unwavering dedication. His legacy at Anfield will undoubtedly endure for generations to come.
The next confirmed checkpoint for Salah is the Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain. Liverpool fans will be hoping for a memorable send-off as they navigate a challenging end to the season.
