Liverpool supporters are preparing to bid farewell to Mohamed Salah at Anfield on Sunday as the club face Brentford in what is expected to be the Egyptian forward’s final home appearance for the Reds.
The match will bring the curtain down on an era that has seen Salah establish himself as one of the most influential figures in Liverpool’s modern history after nine seasons at the club.
Since arriving at Liverpool in the summer of 2017, the Egypt captain has played a central role in a period of sustained success at Anfield. His performances helped the club secure the Champions League title in 2019 before ending a 30-year wait for a league championship with Premier League success in 2020. Liverpool also went on to claim another league title in 2025 during his time at the club.
Salah leaves behind a remarkable record in a Liverpool shirt, scoring 257 goals and providing 122 assists in 441 appearances. Those numbers have cemented his reputation as one of the club’s greatest-ever players and a key figure in the team’s achievements over the last decade.
Ahead of Sunday’s encounter, Liverpool’s final training session reportedly carried an emotional atmosphere as players and staff paid tribute to Salah’s contribution to the club.
The farewell occasion also appeared to include defender Andy Robertson, with images and social media posts circulating online showing what was described as a heartfelt send-off from manager Arne Slot and the Liverpool squad.
Despite the anticipation surrounding Salah’s final appearance at Anfield, uncertainty remains over whether the forward will start against Brentford.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference, Liverpool manager Arne Slot declined to provide any indication regarding his team selection for the game.
“I never talk about my line-ups before matches.”
Slot’s refusal to confirm Salah’s involvement has done little to reduce speculation ahead of the weekend fixture, with fans eager to see the forward feature one final time at Anfield.
Salah’s impact at Liverpool stretches beyond silverware and statistics. Over the course of nine seasons, he became one of the defining faces of the club’s resurgence on the domestic and European stage. His goals, consistency and influence helped restore Liverpool among Europe’s elite and made him a favourite among supporters.
The Egyptian international adapted quickly following his arrival in England and soon developed into one of the Premier League’s most dangerous attacking players. His contributions across multiple campaigns played a major part in Liverpool’s success under successive managerial eras.
Sunday’s match against Brentford is therefore expected to be an emotional occasion for supporters as they prepare to say goodbye to one of the club’s modern greats.
Whether Salah starts or not, the fixture is set to mark the end of a memorable chapter in Liverpool’s history, with Anfield ready to honour a player whose legacy at the club is already firmly established.
