Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool FC at the end of the 2025–26 season, the club has announced.
The forward has reached an agreement with the Reds that will see him close a remarkable nine-year chapter at Anfield.
Salah expressed his wish to make this announcement to the supporters at the earliest possible opportunity to provide transparency about his future due to his respect and gratitude for them.
Signed from AS Roma in the summer of 2017, the No. 11 has firmly established himself as one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s history, helping the club win two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup, and two League Cups, as well as an FA Community Shield.
His tally of 255 goals in 435 appearances to date has the Egyptian sitting third on the Reds’ all-time leading goalscorers chart, winning the Premier League Golden Boot on four occasions in addition to a host of personal accolades.
Salah’s farewell message
“Hello everyone, unfortunately, the day has come. This is the first part of my farewell. I‘ll be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season,” Salah said in a video on his social channels. “I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, these people would become part of my life.”
“I want to thank everyone who was part of this club throughout my time here, especially the teammates, past and present.
“And to the fans, I don’t have enough words. 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.”
Salah went on to say, “Leaving is never easy. You gave me the best time of my life. I will be always one of you. This club will always be my home to me and to my family.”
With plenty still left to play for this season, Salah is firmly focused on trying to achieve the best possible finish to the campaign for Liverpool, and, therefore, the time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will come later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield.
