Mohamed Salah is set to leave Liverpool this summer after the club and the forward reached an agreement in March to terminate his contract early, despite the player having signed a two-year deal until 2027.
Salah's Emotional Farewell
The Egyptian star marked his departure with an emotional video message on social media. "Leaving is never easy," Salah said. "You gave me the best time of my life. I will be always one of you. This club will always be my home to me and to my family. Thank you for everything. Because of all of you, I will never walk alone."
Agent Quashes Rumors
Amid feverish speculation regarding his next move, Salah's agent, Ramy Abbas, moved to quash rumors that a decision had been finalised. Abbas tweeted that "neither he nor I prefer to discuss sensitive future plans with people not involved in them."
Bookmakers' Favorites
As the transfer window approaches, Turkish club Fenerbahce has emerged as the bookmakers' favorite to sign the 34-year-old, currently priced at 2/1 by bet365, with the club having finished as runners-up in the Super Lig last season. Close behind are Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad at 11/4. Al-Ittihad famously had a massive offer for Salah, reportedly in excess of £100 million, rejected by Liverpool back in 2023.
