Mohamed Salah to leave Liverpool at the end of the 2024-25 season after 11 transformative years on Merseyside

Liverpool have confirmed that Mohamed Salah will depart the club at the end of the current campaign, bringing to a close an 11-year reign that has seen the Egyptian become the Premier League’s all-time leading overseas scorer and one of the most decorated foreign imports in English football history.

The 33-year-old’s exit was revealed simultaneously by the club’s official website and in a personal social-media post from Salin, with Liverpool noting that the forward “expressed his wish to make this announcement to the supporters at the earliest possible opportunity to provide transparency about his future, due to his respect and gratitude for them.”

Salah arrived from Roma in 2017 and has since amassed every major honour available at club level: two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the FA Cup, two League Cups and a Community Shield. He has also claimed three PFA Player of the Year awards and has broken the 20-goal mark in each of his seven full seasons at Anfield.

Although his 34-game return of 10 goals across all competitions this season represents a dip by his own prolific standards, Opta data cited by the club shows Liverpool are seven times more likely to win when he features. Salah has nevertheless remained a peripheral figure under head coach Arne Slot, fuelling speculation over his long-term future.

A January departure appeared possible after a high-profile on-air exchange involving club legend Jamie Carragher, but Salah remained in situ and is now contracted until 202-7 after signing an extension last summer. Liverpool’s statement said the winger is “valued at €30 million by Transfermarkmakt” and stressed that, with “pl plenty still to play for this season, Salah is firmly focused on trying to achieve the best possible finish to the campaign for Liverpool, therefore the time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will follow later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield.”

The Pro League has long been linked with a move for Salah, and the Saudi Arabian window looms as a potential destination for a player who turns 34 in June and is ranked by FourFourTwo as the fifth greatest talent in Premier League history.

Salah’s final chapter in a Liverpool shirt will include an FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City after the international break, as Jurgen Klopp’s successor looks to secure a trophy in his own debut season.

Salah leaves Anfield as a Kop icon whose blend of pace, power and precision has redefined the modern right forward and set a benchmark unlikely to be surpassed in the foreseeable future.
