When will Mohamed Salah play his final match for Liverpool?
The Egyptian will pull the curtain down on his nine-year stay on Merseyside at the end of the season
Mohamed Salah is set to play his final match for Liverpool on Sunday, 24 May – but that could change if the Reds reach the Champions League final. The 33-year-old Egyptian announced on Tuesday night that he will leave Anfield at the end of the season, bringing the curtain down on a nine-year stay in which he won every major club trophy. Yet Salah is still fighting for silverware this season.
While the Premier League is out of reach for the defending champions, Champions League and FA Cup glory are still up for grabs. As it stands, Salah’s final match for the club will be Liverpool’s final Premier League game of the season, at Anfield, against Brentford on Sunday, 24 May. No matter what, this will be his Anfield farewell.
However, if Liverpool reach the Champions League final, then Salah’s last game for the club could be the showpiece match on Saturday, 30 May in Budapest. The FA Cup final takes place on Saturday, 16 May at Wembley. Liverpool face Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals on 4 April before a two-legged quarter-final tie against defending champions PSG in the Champions League.
Salah’s first home game after his exit announcement will be the Premier League clash against Fulham on Saturday, 11 April. “Hello, everyone. Unfortunately the day has come,” Salah said in a message posted on social media.
