Premier League side Liverpool have announced that forward Mohamed Salah will leave the club at the end of the 2025/26 season following a mutual agreement to terminate the player’s contract early.

In 2025, Salah signed a two-year deal with Liverpool that is to expire in 2027, but the relationship between the Egypt international and manager Arne Slot has not been the best.

“Mohamed Salah is to bring the curtain down on his illustrious career with Liverpool FC at the end of the 2025-26 season. The forward has reached an agreement with the Reds that will see him close a remarkable nine-year chapter at Anfield.

“Salah expressed his wish to make this announcement to the supporters at the earliest possible opportunity to provide transparency about his future due to his respect and gratitude for them,” the club said in a statement on Tuesday.

Salah joined Liverpool from AS Roma in the summer of 2017. He has made 435 appearances for the Reds, scoring 255 goals, while winning two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the FA Cup, and two League Cups.

In his farewell statement, the 33-year-old said, “I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined this club, this city, and these people would become part of my life. Liverpool is not just a football club; it’s a passion, it’s a history, it’s a spirit. I can’t explain it to anyone not part of this club.”

He added, “We won the most important trophies. We fought together through the hardest times of our lives. I want to thank everyone who was part of this club throughout my time, especially the teammates, past and present, and the fans.

“I don’t have enough words—the support you showed me, to the best time of my career, and you stood by me in the toughest times is something I will never forget and something I will take with me always.”
