A living legend of the Reds, the Egyptian star confirmed the news in a video posted this Tuesday, March 24, 2026, on social media. A major chapter in Liverpool’s history is coming to an end. The English club has officially announced the departure of Mohamed Salah (33) at the end of the 2025–2026 season, bringing to a close a nine-year spell at Liverpool FC. In a statement, the Reds confirmed that both parties had reached an agreement, while Salah chose to personally share the news with supporters out of respect for their loyalty.
Arriving in 2017 from AS Roma, Salah established himself as one of the greatest legends in the club’s history, with 255 goals in 435 appearances and an outstanding trophy haul including the UEFA Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and multiple Premier League titles. “He wanted to make this announcement as early as possible out of respect and gratitude towards the supporters,” the club statement said. Before closing this chapter, the Egyptian remains fully focused on the end of the season, aiming to finish his Liverpool career on a high note—potentially by securing a historic Premier League and Champions League double.
This announcement brings an end to months of speculation surrounding Salah’s future at Liverpool, fueled by the expiration of his contract and rumors of a short-term extension. Despite past tensions with head coach Arne Slot and debates over his role in the team, Salah has opted to leave as a free agent, allowing the club to ease its wage bill while honoring his legacy. Liverpool fans, who are expected to celebrate him later this year with a farewell at Anfield, are already expressing strong emotions as this era comes to a close.
As Liverpool currently lead the Premier League and remain in contention in the Champions League, Salah’s departure raises major questions about who can replace the “Egyptian King,” whose impact and statistics are unmatched. Clubs from the Saudi Pro League are likely to show interest, but the iconic winger is focused on leaving through the front door.
