Mohamed Salah has bid farewell to Liverpool with a promise that the club will always be his home, delivering one of the most moving farewell announcements in the history of English football. The Egyptian forward confirmed his departure at the end of this season through an emotional video shared on social media, addressing Liverpool supporters with warmth, honesty, and deep gratitude. His free transfer exit this summer ends nine years of extraordinary service to a club that has become as much a part of his identity as his remarkable footballing talent.
Salah’s time at Liverpool began when the club signed him from Roma for £34 million in the summer of 2017. Over nine seasons, he scored 255 goals in 435 appearances, placing him third on Liverpool’s all-time scoring list behind only the legendary Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. His four Premier League Golden Boots and three PFA Player of the Year awards speak to a level of sustained excellence that is virtually unparalleled among modern forwards.
His contract value of approximately £500,000 per week made a free transfer the most logical outcome for all parties. His agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, has maintained complete privacy about future plans, confirming only that no decision has been reached. That uncertainty has set the global transfer market buzzing, with Saudi Arabia and top European clubs all expected to pursue one of the most coveted free agents in the history of modern football.
The trophies Salah won during his Liverpool tenure are extraordinary: two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the FA Cup, and two League Cups. This season, despite a high-profile dispute with manager Arne Slot, he delivered a stunning Champions League goal against Galatasaray to register his 50th in the competition and become the first African player to reach that historic milestone. The goal was a reminder of the class and quality that has made him one of the most revered players of his generation.
Liverpool have committed to giving Salah a formal Anfield farewell, one that will reflect the scale of his contribution to the club. Andy Robertson’s tribute on social media, calling Salah the greatest Liverpool player he has ever shared a dressing room with, captured the affection that the entire club holds for their departing icon. In his final words to the supporters, Salah promised that Liverpool would always be his home, a pledge from a player who gave this club everything and leaves behind a legacy that will endure forever.
