Liverpool hierarchy get what they wanted all along with bombshell agreement Liverpool's upper management have got what they wanted all along with a bombshell agreement. Mo Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, bringing an end to nine years with the Reds. He departs as one of their greatest-ever players - a fact no one can argue.
But the way it's happened is unusual to say the least. Salah could have left last summer, given his contract was due to expire, but he signed a new two-year deal. However, he won't see out that deal.
Liverpool have agreed to let him leave a year early and the reasons why aren't exactly clear to anyone. After all, they almost certainly could have received a fee from Saudi Arabia for the Egyptian. Perhaps he doesn't want to go there?
That would mean breaking the contract as it's unlikely anywhere else would pay good money for Salah, given his age and contract. Liverpool's management, though, got what they wanted. The Telegraph reports that when offering Salah a new contract in 2025, they actually tried to get him to agree to a simple one-year deal.
