Mohamed Salah has confirmed his Liverpool farewell after nine years, six trophies, and a legacy that will last forever at one of football’s most storied clubs. The Egyptian forward delivered his announcement through an emotional video on social media, expressing the deep bond that has formed between himself and the city of Liverpool over the course of a career that has produced some of the most memorable moments in modern football. His free transfer departure this summer marks the end of a chapter that has enriched English football immeasurably.
Salah’s arrival from Roma for £34 million in 2017 set the scene for a career of extraordinary achievement at Anfield. His 255 goals in 435 appearances place him third on the club’s all-time scoring list behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt, two players synonymous with the club’s greatest historical triumphs. Four Premier League Golden Boots and three PFA Player of the Year awards confirm his standing as one of the Premier League’s most decorated and consistent performers.
His weekly salary of approximately £500,000 made a free transfer the most logical financial outcome. Agent Ramy Abbas Issa confirmed that no future destination has been identified, leaving the global football world in a state of eager anticipation. The Saudi Pro League and leading European leagues are all expected to be actively pursuing a player who remains one of the game’s most recognizable and coveted figures.
The six trophies Salah won during his Liverpool tenure, two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the FA Cup, and two League Cups, represent a legacy of sustained collective achievement rarely matched by any individual player at a single club. His recent 50th Champions League goal against Galatasaray, a new record for any African player, added one more historical milestone to a career already overflowing with them. Even this season, which included a very public dispute with manager Arne Slot, Salah delivered the kind of performance that reminded everyone why he is considered among football’s elite.
Liverpool have pledged a full Anfield farewell to honor the player and the legacy he leaves behind. Andy Robertson’s tribute on social media, in which he called Salah the greatest to ever wear the red shirt and praised their deep personal friendship, captured the spirit of appreciation that exists for Salah throughout the club and its global fanbase. For Liverpool, for English football, and for the millions around the world who have followed his journey, Mohamed Salah’s legacy is nine years, six trophies, and a collection of memories that will last forever.
