Mohamed Salah will bring the curtain down on his Liverpool career in the coming weeks, ending a nine-year spell that saw him become one of the club's all-time greats. The 33-year-old Egyptian leaves Anfield in third place on the club's all-time goalscorer list and with the most goal contributions in Premier League history.
The 2025-26 campaign has been challenging for Salah, with signs of a potential exit emerging months ago. In December, Salah gave an explosive interview in the mixed zone, claiming he had 'no relationship' with manager Arne Slot and felt 'thrown under the bus' after being dropped for a game against West Ham. That moment marked a point of no return.
Salah had signed a new two-year contract just 12 months earlier, but cryptic social media posts and comments about being in his 'last year' had fuelled speculation. Despite strong interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, he stayed and helped Liverpool win the Premier League last season.
After his December outburst, Salah did not travel with the squad for a Champions League fixture in Rome, but peace talks at the training ground saw him return to the side. However, his performances have dipped, with just one Premier League goal since November, leading to calls for him to be dropped again.
On Tuesday night, Salah confirmed in an emotional social media video that this will be his final season at Liverpool. The forward, who has 281 goal contributions in the Premier League, will leave as one of the club's greatest players.
