Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool FC at the end of the 2025–26 season, confirming one of the most significant exits in recent football history. The announcement brings to a close a glittering spell that has defined an era at Anfield.
The decision has been formally communicated by both the player and the club, ending months of speculation surrounding his future. Salah is expected to depart upon the expiry of the current campaign, with no extension agreed.
Sources indicate the move is a mutual understanding between the forward and the club’s hierarchy. Discussions over his long-term future had been ongoing, but both parties ultimately agreed to part ways.
Salah, who joined Liverpool in 2017 from AS Roma, has spent nearly a decade at the club. During that period, he evolved into one of the most influential figures in European football.
The Egyptian international has played a central role in Liverpool’s domestic and continental success. His contributions have been instrumental in securing the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League trophy.
Over the course of his tenure, Salah has amassed more than 250 goals in competitive matches. His consistency in front of goal has placed him among the club’s all-time leading scorers.
Club officials have acknowledged his impact, describing him as a transformative signing who elevated Liverpool’s attacking identity. His departure is expected to leave a significant gap in the squad.
While no official destination has been confirmed, interest in Salah remains high across multiple leagues. Clubs in Europe and the Middle East are closely monitoring his situation ahead of the transfer window.
Reports suggest the Saudi Pro League remains a strong contender for his signature. Previous approaches from the region had already signaled long-standing interest.
Salah is understood to have made the decision in consultation with his family, prioritizing the next phase of his career. The move is seen as both a professional and personal transition.
Supporters have reacted with a mix of disappointment and gratitude, reflecting on his immense contribution to the club’s recent success. His legacy at Anfield is widely regarded as one of the greatest in modern times.
Liverpool now faces the challenge of restructuring its attacking line ahead of the next season. Replacing a player of Salah’s calibre is expected to be a major task for the club’s recruitment team.
Mo Salah: “Leaving is never easy. You gave me the best time of my life”.
“I will always be 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.”
Mo Salah: “We won the most important trophies. We fought together through the hardest times of our lives”.
“I want to thank everyone who was part of this club throughout my time especially the teammates past and present and to the fans. I don’t have enough words - the support you showed me, to the best time of my career and you stood by me in the toughest times is something I will never forget and something I will take with me always”.
Mo Salah: “I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined this club, this city, this 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 it to anyone not part of this club”.
