Salah to leave Liverpool at end of season
Salah signed a new two-year contract with Liverpool in April 2025 but will leave the club on a free transfer after the club said they had "reached an agreement" over his future. By his own high standards it has been a difficult campaign for Salah on the pitch. He has scored 10 goals in 34 games in all competitions so far and is on course to finish with his lowest tally for a season during his time at Anfield.
In December Salah gave an interview to reporters after Liverpool 's 3-3 draw at Leeds , where he said was " thrown under the bus" by the club and his relationship with head coach Arne Slot had broken down. There was speculation Salah could leave in the January transfer window but he subsequently returned to the side following his involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations. Liverpool said the timing of Salah's announcement was because he wished to tell supporters "at the earliest possible opportunity" and to "provide transparency about his future due to his respect and gratitude for them".
Salah said his time on Merseyside has left a significant mark on his life, having lived through the Covid-19 pandemic and - more recently - the death of team-mate Diogo Jota. He continued: "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 it 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.
