Mohamed Salah to leave Liverpool on free transfer after Brentford finale
Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool on a free transfer this summer, ending a record-breaking nine-year spell following their final Premier League match against Brentford on Sunday.
The Egyptian international departs Anfield as a modern great having secured the Premier League title during a phenomenal farewell campaign.
He amassed an astonishing 34 goals and 23 assists across 52 appearances in all competitions during the 2024-25 season.
Delivering on a promise
This ultimate triumph backed up a heartfelt social media vow made by the forward to the Merseyside faithful twelve months prior.
“We know that trophies are what count and we will do everything possible to make that happen next season.”
“Our fans deserve it, and we will fight like hell.”
Rewriting the Anfield history books
Arriving for £36.9 million from AS Roma in 2017, the attacker faced immediate pressure to banish the memory of an underwhelming prior stint at Chelsea.
The global superstar emphatically silenced those early critics to establish himself among the pantheon of English football legends.
With 257 goals to his name, the prolific winger sits third on the club’s all-time scoring chart behind only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.
Furthermore, the three-time PFA Players’ Player of the Year holds the division’s record for the most goal contributions for a single club with an unmatched 283.
A global icon bids farewell
Beyond the staggering statistics, the former FC Basel prodigy has served as the undisputed face of Egyptian football on the world stage for nearly a decade.
His journey from the rural village of Nagrig to elite superstardom involved immense sacrifices, including grueling nine-hour round trips to train with Al Mokawloon in Cairo.
Wherever the lightning-fast forward decides to play his football next, his legendary status on Merseyside is permanently enshrined.
