Liverpool Football Club has confirmed that Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah will conclude his celebrated tenure with the team at the end of the 2025-26 season. The announcement, made official through the club’s communication channels on Tuesday, marks the conclusion of a transformative nine-year period for both player and club.
The 33-year-old forward, who joined Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017, has established himself as one of the most prolific scorers in the club’s storied history. With 435 appearances and an extraordinary tally of 255 goals, Salah’s contribution has been instrumental in Liverpool’s recent successes, including their Premier League championship victory in the 2024-25 season.
Club officials emphasized that Salah specifically requested early transparency regarding his departure plans as a gesture of respect toward the loyal fanbase that has supported him throughout his Anfield career. This decision follows recent speculation about his future, particularly after a highly publicized disagreement with manager Arne Slot earlier in the season that resulted in Salah being temporarily excluded from the starting lineup.
The timing of this announcement comes shortly after Salah’s impactful performance in Liverpool’s Champions League victory against Galatasaray, where he scored before being substituted due to apparent physical concerns. Despite experiencing an unusual scoring drought earlier in the season, the Egyptian international had regained his form with goals in three of his previous four starts prior to this announcement.
While Salah’s current Premier League tally of five goals represents a significant decrease from his 29-goal contribution during last season’s title campaign, his legacy as a Liverpool icon remains unquestioned. The coming months will undoubtedly feature tributes to one of the most significant players in the modern era of English football.
