LIVERPOOL, England — 25 March 2026 — Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the current season, the club confirmed on Wednesday, marking the end of one of the most influential eras in modern Premier League history.
Liverpool officials said the decision followed “extended discussions” between the player, his representatives, and senior club figures. While no immediate details were provided about Salah’s next destination, people close to the negotiations told reporters that the 33‑year‑old forward had been considering a new challenge for more than a year.
Salah, who joined Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017, has been central to the club’s resurgence under former manager Jürgen Klopp and the transitional leadership that followed. He played a decisive role in Liverpool’s Champions League triumph in 2019 and their long‑awaited Premier League title in 2020. His consistency, durability, and goal‑scoring record have made him one of the most celebrated players in the club’s history.
In a brief statement released through the club, Salah said he was “grateful for every moment” at Anfield and emphasized that his focus remained on finishing the season strongly. “Liverpool has been my home for many years,” he said. “I want to give everything until the final whistle of the final game.”
Club executives acknowledged the emotional weight of the announcement. Sporting director Julian Ward described Salah as “a player whose impact will be felt for generations,” adding that the club had begun planning for a “new attacking structure” ahead of the summer transfer window.
Analysts say Salah’s departure could trigger a broader rebuild, with several senior players nearing the ends of their contracts and Liverpool seeking to refresh its squad after inconsistent performances this season. The club is expected to prioritize younger attacking options, though no formal targets have been confirmed.
Supporters reacted with a mixture of sadness and appreciation, many crediting Salah not only for his on‑field achievements but also for his role as a cultural and community figure in the city. Local fan groups said they planned tributes for Liverpool’s final home match of the season.
Salah leaves as one of the Premier League’s most prolific forwards, with more than 200 goals for the club across all competitions. His next move is expected to draw significant global attention, with interest reported from European giants and clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
For now, Liverpool’s focus remains on securing a strong finish to the campaign — and giving one of their greatest players a fitting farewell.
