“This day has come” – Salah confirms Anfield goodbye

Mohamed Salah has announced he will leave Liverpool FC at the end of the 2025–26 season, bringing an emotional close to one of the most successful spells in the club’s recent history.

The Egyptian forward revealed his decision in a video shared across his social media platforms on Tuesday, describing the moment as difficult and unexpected. Standing in front of his trophy collection, Salah delivered a heartfelt message confirming that his time at Anfield is drawing to a close.

“Hello everyone, unfortunately this day has come. This is the first part of my farewell to Liverpool. I will leave the club at the end of the season,” he said.

The announcement is likely to come as a shock to supporters, given Salah’s enduring importance to the team and his status as one of the club’s defining players in recent years. His departure will mark the end of a significant chapter for both player and club.

In his message, Salah reflected on his connection to Liverpool, emphasising the deep personal and professional impact the club has had on his life.

“I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined that this club, the city and the fans would be a part of my life. Liverpool is not just a football club, it’s a passion, a history, a spirit and it can’t be described in words.”

He went on to recall shared moments of success and adversity during his time with the club, highlighting the bond formed with teammates and supporters alike.

“We have celebrated victories together, won important championships and fought together in the most difficult times of our lives.”

Salah also expressed gratitude to those who have supported him throughout his career at Liverpool, including both past and present teammates, as well as the club’s fanbase.

“I want to thank everyone who has been a part of this club during my time here, especially my teammates, past and present, and to the fans, I don’t have enough words. The support you have shown me during the best time of my career, and standing by me in the most difficult time, is something I will never forget, something I will always take with me.”

The forward concluded his statement with an emotional farewell, underlining the significance of his time at the club and the lasting connection he feels.

“Leaving is never easy. You gave me the best times of my career. This club will always be my home, for me and my family. Thank you for everything, because it is because of all of you that I will never walk alone.”

While no details have yet been provided regarding his next destination, Salah’s departure is expected to prompt widespread reaction across the football world. His influence at Liverpool has been profound, both in terms of performances on the pitch and his role as a global ambassador for the club.

As the season progresses, attention will inevitably turn to how Liverpool plan for life after Salah, and how the player himself will approach the final months of his tenure. For supporters, the remainder of the campaign is likely to take on added emotional weight as they prepare to say goodbye to one of their most iconic figures.
