Liverpool Football Club is set to bid farewell to one of its modern icons as Mohamed Salah has officially announced his departure at the conclusion of the current season. The Egyptian superstar shared an emotional 129-second video across his social media platforms on Tuesday night, confirming the end of his remarkable nine-year tenure at Anfield.
A Legacy of Goals and Glory
During his illustrious spell with Liverpool, Salah has cemented his place among the club's all-time greats. The 33-year-old forward has netted an impressive 255 goals across 435 appearances, securing him the third position on Liverpool's prestigious all-time leading goalscorers chart. His trophy cabinet, prominently featured in the farewell video, brims with every major club honor available during his time with the Reds.
Heartfelt Words to the Anfield Faithful
In the poignant video message, Salah expressed profound gratitude and emotional attachment to the club that has defined his career. "Hello, everyone. Unfortunately, the day has come," Salah began, seated before his collection of golden boots and championship trophies. "This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season."
The forward elaborated on his deep connection with the club, stating: "I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, this people, would become part of my life. Liverpool is not just a football club, it's a passion, it's a history, it's a spirit. I can't explain in words to anyone not part of this club."
Tribute to Teammates and Tragic Loss
Salah made a particularly moving reference to former teammate Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away in a car accident last summer at just 28 years old. "We celebrated victory, we won the most important trophies, and we fought together through the hardest time in our life," Salah reflected, highlighting the bonds forged during his Liverpool career.
The Egyptian international extended heartfelt thanks to both current and former teammates, reserving special praise for the Liverpool supporters. "And to the fans... I don't have enough words: the support you showed me through the best time of my career and you stood by me in the toughest times, it's something I will never forget. And something I will take with me always," he expressed emotionally.
Future Uncertain as Final Games Approach
While Salah offered no specific details about his next career move, speculation continues to link him with a potential transfer to the Saudi Pro League, a rumor that has persisted for approximately two years. "Leaving is never easy," Salah acknowledged. "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."
He concluded his message with the iconic Liverpool phrase: "Thank you for everything. Because of all of you, I will never walk alone."
Final Opportunities for Silverware
Salah still has significant objectives to pursue in his remaining time with Liverpool. The club continues to compete in both the Champions League and FA Cup, with finals scheduled for May 30th and May 16th respectively. As currently stands, his final appearance for Liverpool is projected to be the Premier League home fixture against Brentford on May 24th.
Liverpool FC officially acknowledged the impending departure through an Instagram statement: "Mohamed Salah is to bring the curtain down on his illustrious career with Liverpool Football Club at the end of the 2025-26 season. With plenty still left to play for this season, Salah is firmly focused on trying to achieve the best possible finish to the campaign for Liverpool and, therefore, the time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will follow later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield."
The announcement marks the beginning of the end for one of Liverpool's most successful modern eras, with fans and the football world preparing to celebrate Salah's extraordinary contributions before his eventual departure from Merseyside.
