LONDON — Mohamed Salah will leave Premier League champions Liverpool at the end of the season, the Egypt forward announced on Tuesday as he started a farewell to what the club said were nine "illustrious" years at Anfield.
The 33-year-old arrived from Roma in 2017 and has made 435 appearances for Liverpool to date, scoring 255 goals to be third on the club's all-time goalscorers chart behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.
Salah has won four Premier League Golden Boots and starred for Liverpool in both their 2019/20 and 2024/25 title triumphs as well as lifting the 2019 Champions League trophy.
His Liverpool honors also include a Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups.
Salah has scored just five Premier League goals this season, compared with 29 in last term's title-winning campaign.
His Anfield future became the subject of intense speculation after a dramatic bust-up with Liverpool manager Arne Slot in December.
He accused Liverpool of throwing him "under the bus" after he was benched for three games in a row and said he had no relationship with the Dutch boss.
'The day has come'
Salah, in a video on social media featuring highlights of his time with Liverpool, said: "Hello everyone. Unfortunately, the day has come.
"This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
"I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, these 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 of this club.”
