Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah has announced he will leave the club at the end of the 2025–26 season, bringing an end to a remarkable nine-year spell at Anfield that cemented him as one of the club’s all-time greats.
The 33-year-old Egyptian forward scored 255 goals in 435 appearances, helping Liverpool claim eight major trophies, including two Premier League titles and a Champions League crown. Salah also won the Premier League Golden Boot four times, and is now third on Liverpool’s all-time scorers list behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.
In an emotional Instagram post, Salah reflected on his connection with the city and its fans. “Liverpool is not just a football club. It’s a passion, it’s a history, it’s a spirit,” he wrote, thanking supporters for their unwavering support throughout his career.
Liverpool paid tribute to Salah, calling him “one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s history” and highlighting his transformative impact on the club. The Premier League side said they respected Salah’s decision and would celebrate his achievements in full at the end of the season.
Salah joined Liverpool from Roma in 2017 and quickly became the cornerstone of a lethal attacking trio alongside Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino under manager Jurgen Klopp. He was instrumental in one of Liverpool’s most successful eras in recent history, helping the club regain domestic and European glory.
Despite a brief dip in form this season and a public disagreement with manager Arne Slot, Salah remains focused on finishing the campaign strongly. Liverpool is currently competing in the Premier League and Champions League, with the season concluding at Anfield against Brentford on May 24, followed by the Champions League final the next weekend.
There is no confirmation yet of Salah’s next destination, but he will leave as a free agent, meaning Liverpool will not receive a transfer fee.
Salah’s departure marks the end of an era at Anfield, leaving behind a legacy of goals, records, and inspiration for future generations of players and fans alike.
