Mohamed Salah has bid farewell to Liverpool in his own words, delivering an emotional video message that confirmed his departure from the club at the end of this season. The Egyptian forward addressed supporters directly, saying he never imagined how deeply Liverpool would become part of his life and expressing his lasting gratitude for the memories and experiences the club provided him over nine remarkable years. His free transfer exit this summer is a moment of profound significance for English football and for the millions of fans who have admired his brilliance.
Salah’s nine-year journey at Liverpool began with his £34 million transfer from Roma in 2017 and quickly became one of football’s most compelling stories. He scored 255 goals in 435 appearances, placing himself third on the club’s all-time list behind only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. His individual achievements during that period, including four Premier League Golden Boots and three PFA Player of the Year awards, confirm him as one of the most decorated forwards in the history of the English game.
His contract, worth around £500,000 per week, made a free transfer the most sensible option for both parties as the season draws to a close. Agent Ramy Abbas Issa maintained deliberate vagueness about future plans, stating only that no one yet knows where Salah will play next. This uncertainty has set the global transfer market alight, with interest expected from Saudi Arabia and the leading leagues across Europe.
The silverware Salah accumulated during his time at Liverpool reads like a wish list for any ambitious footballer. Two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the FA Cup, and two League Cups are all testament to his contribution to Liverpool’s most successful period in the modern era. His goal against Galatasaray last week, his 50th in Champions League football, set a new record for any African player in the competition and served as a fitting punctuation mark on a historic career.
Liverpool have confirmed that a formal Anfield farewell will be arranged to honor a player who has given everything to the club. His departing words, in which he declared that Liverpool would always be his home and that he would never forget the support shown to him, captured the spirit of a relationship built on mutual respect and genuine love. The words of his final message will stay with supporters long after his last match in red, a lasting echo of everything that made Mohamed Salah so special.
