Mohamed Salah to Leave Liverpool FC at End of Season After Nine-Year Spell

LIVERPOOL — Mohamed Salah has confirmed he will leave Liverpool FC at the end of the season, bringing an end to his nine-year tenure with the club. The 33-year-old forward announced his decision via Instagram, alongside an official statement from Liverpool, with both parties agreeing to part ways earlier than his contract, which was due to expire next year. Salah, who has scored more than 250 goals for the club, described the decision as difficult due to his strong bond with the team and its supporters. However, his final season at Anfield has been challenging, with a dip in form leading to several omissions from the starting lineup. Reports also تشير to a strained relationship with manager Arne Slot, particularly following an incident in December when Salah was not fielded against Leeds United. In post-match comments at the time, Salah claimed he was being made a “scapegoat” for the team’s issues. Despite returning to action after the Africa Cup of Nations, he has struggled to regain top form and is currently sidelined with a muscle injury sustained during a UEFA Champions League match against Galatasaray. In its statement, Liverpool hailed Salah as “one of the greatest players in the club’s history,” noting his contribution to eight major trophies, including two Premier League titles and one UEFA Champions League title since joining from AS Roma in 2017. He currently ranks third on Liverpool’s all-time scoring list, behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. Salah said he chose to announce his departure early out of respect for fans and to provide clarity about his future, which remains uncertain. As a free agent, he is expected to attract strong interest, particularly from clubs in Saudi Arabia following a lucrative offer he declined in 2023. Liverpool will conclude their Premier League campaign against Brentford FC on May 24, and remain in contention in the UEFA Champions League, where they face Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals.
