Mohamed Salah will leave Premier League champions Liverpool at the end of the season, the Egypt forward announced on Tuesday, beginning a farewell to what the club has described as nine “illustrious” years at Anfield.
The 33-year-old joined from Roma in 2017 and has made 435 appearances for Liverpool to date, scoring 255 goals to sit third on the club’s all-time goalscoring list behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.
Salah has won four Premier League Golden Boots and was a key figure in Liverpool’s 2019/20 and 2024/25 title-winning campaigns, as well as in their 2019 Champions League triumph.
His Liverpool honours also include a Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups.
Salah has scored just five Premier League goals this season, compared with 29 in last season’s title-winning campaign.
His future at Anfield became the subject of intense speculation after a dramatic bust-up with Liverpool manager Arne Slot in December.
He accused Liverpool of throwing him “under the bus” after he was benched for three consecutive games and said he had no relationship with the Dutch boss.
In a video on social media featuring highlights of his time with Liverpool, Salah said: “Hello everyone. Unfortunately, the day has come.
“This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
“I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, these people would become part of my life. 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 of this club.”
Salah, who, like many Liverpool players and staff, was deeply affected by the death of team-mate Diogo Jota in a car crash in July, added: “We celebrated victory, we won the most important trophies and we fought together through the hardest time in our 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.
“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.
“Thank you for everything. Because of all of you, I will never walk alone,” Salah said, in a reference to the Liverpool fans’ anthem.
