After nine seasons with Liverpool, Mohamed Salah confirmed he will leave Anfield at the end of the current campaign. We look back at the unbelievable impact the ‘Egyptian King’ has had.
All good things come to an end.
When Liverpool signed Mohamed Salah in the summer of 2017, it was the next step of their evolution under Jürgen Klopp.
Some viewed Salah as just another option when he signed from Roma, and perhaps even back-up to Sadio Mané, who had come off a stellar debut campaign on Merseyside on the right of Liverpool’s attack. While Salah had done well in Serie A, he had struggled in his previous stint in England with Chelsea, scoring just twice in 19 games for the Blues.
Klopp knew what he was getting, though. He had been sufficiently convinced by Liverpool’s data team, who made clear the pacy winger was absolutely the best option to take them forward, rather than the German boss’ supposed first choice of Julian Brandt. He moved Mané to the left and played Salah on the right.
No offence to Brandt, but Salah was probably the right call.
Such was his impact that, almost eight years later, he sat on a throne in the middle of Anfield in April 2025 as the club announced to the huge relief of the Liverpool fanbase that he had penned a new two-year contract.
Less than 12 months later, though, he was sat on a humbler chair, albeit in front of his vast array of trophies and personal awards, announcing to the world he had agreed with the club to cut that contract short. From the end of the 2025-26 season, Mohamed Salah will no longer be a Liverpool player.

— Mohamed Salah (@MoSalah) March 24, 2026In a video posted to X on Tuesday, Salah 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 part of this club.
“We celebrated victory, we won the most important trophies, and we fought together through the hardest time in our life.
“I want to thank everyone who was part of this club throughout my time here, especially the teammates past and present.
“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.
“Leaving is never easy. 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.
“Thank you for everything. Because of all of you, I will never walk alone.”
It was not necessarily a shocking announcement. Despite his incredible contributions, this has been by some distance Salah’s least productive season in red. He has just 10 goals in 34 games in all competitions, having never scored fewer than 23 in a full campaign with Liverpool.
He has also had a complicated relationship with the club’s hierarchy this season, seeking the media in the mixed zone after being an unused substitute during December’s 3-3 draw at Leeds. Salah suggested he had been “thrown under the bus,” adding: “I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager, and all of a sudden, we don’t have any relationship.”

5 days ago David Segar Premier LeagueSystem or Salah? What is the Cause of Liverpool Star’s Lacklustre Season?
2 weeks ago David SegarThings had seemingly been smoothed over, but his form has only returned intermittently. He put in an outstanding performance in last week’s win over Galatasaray in the last 16 of the Champions League, but he was unable to play in Saturday’s loss at Brighton due to injury.
The team has struggled through an arduous campaign, which was overshadowed before it even began by the death of Diogo Jota in July, whom Salah played alongside for five seasons, winning the Premier League title with him just over a month prior. After Liverpool beat Bournemouth at Anfield in the first game of the season, Salah’s eyes welled up as he applauded the Kop and remembered his friend.
It has been an emotional rollercoaster of a campaign, but now, the Egyptian has just seven Premier League games left at the club, coupled with FA Cup and Champions League campaigns still in motion.
While Liverpool have plenty to play for and won’t want it to become the ‘Mohamed Salah farewell tour’ in the way the closing weeks of Klopp’s final season ultimately ended up feeling in 2023-24, it perhaps almost removes some pressure, especially for Salah. Regardless of what happens between now and May, he will go down as one of the greatest players in the club’s history, and one of the best the Premier League has ever seen.
Since he arrived ahead of the 2017-18 season, Salah ranks first in the Premier League for goals (189), assists (92), open-play chances created (534), shots (1,104), shots on target (480), and touches in the opposition’s box (2,717).
Looking at his total record for Liverpool, which of course could still grow over his remaining games this season, Salah has 255 goals and 119 assists in 435 games in all competitions. He sits third in the club’s all-time top-scorer charts, only behind Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285).
While this hasn’t been a great season, his consistency has arguably been his most admirable trait. In his first campaign, Salah scored a barely believable 44 goals in 52 games. Last season, he scored 34 in 54 outings, and as mentioned, in between he never dipped below 23 goals.
Since joining in 2017, Mo Salah has scored or assisted 35% of all goals Liverpool have scored in all competitions.He has averaged 94 mins/goal or assist over 435 apps for #LFC.He has the best mins/goal rate of all players with 100+ goals in the club's history.Only Mo Salah.
— Michael Reid (@michael_reid11) March 24, 2026He hasn’t just provided goals, though. Only in the 2020-21 season (6) has Salah failed to record double figures for assists, and he racked up a whopping 23 in all competitions last term. His 18 in the Premier League was at least six more than any other player, while his 47 goal involvements overall in 2024-25 is a record for a 38-game Premier League season.
Salah is fourth in the Premier League’s all-time top-scorer list (191), now unlikely to catch Wayne Rooney in third (208), while only Harry Kane (213 goals for Tottenham) has scored more goals for a single club in the competition than Salah (189 for Liverpool).
Only five players have more Premier League assists for a single club than Salah’s 92 for the Reds, and he is currently level with Steven Gerrard, so one more league assist before he departs will at least give him the record for Liverpool in the competition.
Put them together, though, and Salah leads. He has more Premier League goal involvements for a single club (281) than any other player.
“What about his European exploits?” we hear you cry. Well, Salah has 52 goals in major European competitions for Liverpool, at least 10 more than any anyone else representing an English men’s team, while only eight players have more for a single European club.
A whopping 47 of those strikes have come in the Champions League, with only seven players scoring more for a European club in the European Cup/UCL (since 1955), and at least 11 more than anyone else for an English club.
As mentioned, Salah made his announcement on Tuesday in front of a wall of accolades. Since moving to Liverpool, he has won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, a League Cup, a Champions League, a UEFA Super Cup and a FIFA Club World Cup, as well as a Community Shield.
In addition, he is a three-time PFA Players’ Player of the Year, a four-time Premier League Golden Boot winner, two-time Premier League Player of the Season, two-time Premier League Playmaker of the Season (most assists), has made the PFA Team of the Season four times, and has won Liverpool’s Player of the Season five times.
All in all, he was a pretty good signing, really.
The timing feels right for both to part ways, and the memories will last forever. Salah arrived as an interesting addition, and leaves as part of the conversation for the club’s greatest ever player alongside the likes of Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness and Gerrard.
Before then, though, there’s work to be done, and Salah has the chance to leave the fans with even more precious memories to cherish over the next two months.
