After a remarkable season in which he scored 29 goals and provided 18 assists, Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian star of Liverpool, is prepared to leave the English club at the end of the 2025-2026 season.
Despite signing a two-year contract extension that seemed to secure his future at Anfield, Salah has maintained serious negotiations with Saudi Pro League clubs, eager to sign him as a marquee player. Liverpool is already preparing for his departure, having invested over €300 million in transfers to anticipate it.
Salah has confirmed positive talks with Saudi officials and acknowledged that Liverpool fans played a significant role in his initial decision to stay. However, barring an improbable reversal, he will make a major move to Saudi Arabia in 2026, ending eight glorious seasons at the club where he became one of its top scorers.
This departure will mark a key stage in Salah’s career, who shone in the Premier League and on the international stage before beginning a new chapter in a rapidly growing league. The announcement already has a strong impact in the African and international football world, highlighting the rise of football in the Middle East and the increasing mobility of African star players globally.
