Mohamed Salah to Leave Liverpool at End of Season After Historic Spell
Mohamed Salah has announced he will leave Liverpool FC at the end of the current season, bringing to a close one of the most successful and memorable periods in the club’s recent history.
The 33-year-old Egyptian forward shared the news in a video posted on his social media pages, confirming that the time had come for a new chapter in his career. In his message, Salah described the decision as emotional, noting that it marks the beginning of his farewell to the club and its supporters.
Salah joined Liverpool FC from AS Roma in June 2017 and quickly became one of the most important players in the squad. Over the past eight years, he has played a key role in helping the club return to the top level of English and European football.
Despite signing a new two-year contract in April 2025, both Salah and the club have now agreed that he will leave on a free transfer at the end of the season. The decision follows a difficult campaign in which Liverpool FC have struggled to maintain consistent form.
Salah’s performances this season have also been closely watched. He has scored 10 goals in 34 matches across all competitions, which is set to be his lowest return since arriving in England. This dip in form has led to increased discussions about his future at the club.
There have also been reports of tension behind the scenes. After a 3-3 draw with Leeds United in December, Salah stated that he felt “thrown under the bus,” suggesting that his relationship with head coach Arne Slot had become strained.
Speculation about his departure grew stronger during the January transfer window, although he remained with the team and returned after representing Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations. According to the club, Salah chose to make his decision public early to give fans clarity about his future.
Reflecting on his time at Liverpool FC, Salah spoke about the deep connection he has built with the club, the city, and its supporters. He described Liverpool as more than just a football club, calling it a place filled with passion, history, and spirit.
During his time at Anfield, Salah made 435 appearances and became the club’s all-time leading goalscorer in the Premier League. He also won four Golden Boots and was named PFA Players’ Player of the Year three times.
Since joining English football, no player has recorded more Premier League goals or assists than Salah, highlighting his consistency and impact at the highest level. He also played a major role in helping Liverpool win key domestic and European trophies during a successful era for the club.
As of now, Salah has not revealed his next destination. However, his departure is expected to attract strong interest from top clubs across Europe and other parts of the world.
His exit will mark the end of an era for Liverpool FC, with fans set to remember him as one of the greatest players to ever wear the club’s shirt.
