Mohamed Salah Confirms Liverpool Exit After Nine Historic Years

Mohamed Salah has officially announced that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the current season, closing the curtain on one of the most successful and iconic eras in the club’s modern history.

The Egyptian forward, who has spent nine years at Anfield, will depart on a free transfer after reaching an agreement with the club, with Liverpool opting not to stand in his way as he seeks a new chapter in his career.

Salah’s exit marks the end of a remarkable journey that saw him establish himself as one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever players. During his time on Merseyside, he helped the club secure major honours including the Premier League title, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, and two Carabao Cups, while also rising to become the club’s third all-time top goalscorer.

Financially, the move will also ease Liverpool’s wage structure, with the club set to free up around £400,000 per week in wages, approximately KSh 64 million, though they will not receive any transfer fee for the forward.

In an emotional farewell message, Salah expressed deep gratitude to the club, the city, and the supporters who have defined his career.

“Unfortunately, the day has come. This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season,” Salah said.

He added: “Liverpool is not just a football club. It is a passion, a history, a spirit. We celebrated victories, won the most important trophies, and fought through the hardest moments together.”

The 33-year-old also reserved special praise for the fans, acknowledging their unwavering support throughout both the highs and the difficult periods of his career.

“The support you showed me through the best time of my career and stood by me in the toughest times is something I will never forget,” he said.

Liverpool also confirmed the departure in an official statement, noting that Salah had chosen to make the announcement early out of respect for supporters and transparency regarding his future.

His departure will leave a significant void both on and off the pitch, with Liverpool now facing the challenge of replacing not just a prolific goalscorer, but a global icon who defined an era at the club.

As the season progresses, attention will turn to where Salah will land next, but for now, the focus remains on giving one of Liverpool’s greatest players the send-off his legacy deserves.
