Joe Gomez, ninth on the list of players with the most appearances alongside Salah with 203, offered a longer tribute on his own account. “One of the greatest to ever wear the shirt,” he posted . “It’s been a pleasure having the countless hours watching your greatness first hand in so many ways.

Robertson paid tribute in a message that began: “Mohamed, thank you,” he began .
“Nine of the best years of our lives with amazing memories on and off the pitch. Watching you become the best at what you do and become one of the best to ever have worn the Liverpool shirt has been a joy to watch and be part of.

Agent Urges Caution Over Mohamed Salah’s Future as Injury and Form Shape Decisions
Abbas Issa warns “beware” of speculation over Salah’s future; injury and form will decide his next steps.
Ramy Abbas Issa has urged caution over speculation about Mohamed Salah’s next club, telling supporters to “beware” of unverified reports and stressing that the forward himself “not know” where he will be in 2026–27. The representative posted the warning on X shortly after Salah’s announcement and sought to curb early conjecture linking the player with the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer, where MLS commissioner Don Garber has publicly opened the door to the U.S. top flight.
Before any decisions can be made, there are immediate concerns to resolve. Salah limped off against Galatasaray on March 18 with a muscular complaint and missed Liverpool’s Premier League trip to Brighton & Hove Albion the following weekend. Manager Arne Slot has been cautious on timelines, noting the physical specimen “can recover faster than other players” but offering no firm dates. The international break has provided Liverpool a buffer, yet it is not certain Salah will be ready to return immediately when club action resumes.
The coming fixtures are significant. Liverpool open April with an FA Cup quarterfinal against Manchester City before travelling to Paris for the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain. It should not be forgotten that Liverpool beat the European champions at the Parc des Princes last season, though Salah struggled to get any loose piece of lint or a stray button, let alone any change, out of Nuno Mendes on that night.
Performance levels are another factor in any long-term choice. The forward, a Premier League Golden Boot holder, has endured what is described in this report as his worst campaign by some margin. He has been outscored by 42 players in the division this season, including both Everton strikers Thierno Barry and Beto. How Salah finishes the season, and the role of the impending World Cup, will inform where he chooses to play beyond 2025–26.

Mohamed Salah’s Trophies at Liverpool: A Complete Record
Mohamed Salah leaves Liverpool after nine seasons, departing with multiple major trophies. He leaves
Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the 2025–26 season after nine seasons at the club. His arrival in the summer of 2017 coincided with a dramatic reversal of Liverpool’s recent silverware drought. Liverpool hadn’t won a major trophy in five years when Salah joined the club in 2017 and the 2011–12 Carabao Cup represented the only major trophy the Reds had lifted over the last decade.
“The Egyptian King’s” mark on one of the biggest club’s in England will be everlasting, especially for the major trophies won during his time at the club. Here’s every major trophy Salah lifted during his time with the Reds.
In his second season at Anfield Salah played a central role as Liverpool won the Champions League in 2018–19. The Egyptian scored the opener in the final against Tottenham Hotspur, delivering a first major honor for him with the club. The campaign that followed produced Liverpool’s first Premier League title in club history in 2019–20; Salah contributed 19 goals and 10 assists across that season.
The 2019–20 period also brought continental and global honours: UEFA Super Cup 2019–20 and FIFA Club World Cup 2019–20. Domestically Salah completed the set of major trophies over subsequent seasons. He was part of the team that won the FA Cup in 2021–22 and twice lifted the Carabao Cup in 2021–22 and 2023–24, both occasions beating Chelsea at Wembley Stadium to claim the League Cup.
Salah returned to the summit of the Premier League in 2024–25, producing the most productive individual campaign of his Liverpool career with 29 goals and 18 assists as the Reds won the title again. Across his time at Liverpool he has collected eight major pieces of silverware; that total could increase if the Reds conquer either the FA Cup or the Champions League in what remains of 2025–26.
The list of Salah’s major honours at Liverpool reads: Champions League (2018–19), Premier League (2019–20, 2024–25), FA Cup (2021–22), Carabao Cup (2021–22, 2023–24), UEFA Super Cup (2019–20) and FIFA Club World Cup (2019–20).

Where Mohamed Salah Could Land After Confirming End of Liverpool Spell
Mohamed Salah departs Liverpool; six possible destinations, from MLS to Saudi clubs and Galatasaray.
Mohamed Salah confirmed on Tuesday that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, posting an emotional farewell on social media that the club then confirmed minutes later. The announcement has prompted immediate debate over where the Egyptian international will continue his career.
“We do not know where Mohamed will play next season,” Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas said, per Fabrizio Romano . “This also means that no one else knows.”
Options span leagues and continents. The Major League Soccer route has gained traction as a realistic possibility. James Pearce actually gave credence to an MLS transfer for Salah back in February. “The MLS is another possible destination for him,” Pearce said onThe Athletic’sWalk On podcast. “It’s been suggested to me that actually is more appealing in many ways than the Saudi Pro League.” The U.S. league has grown since Lionel Messi’s move to Inter Miami in 2023 and will benefit from increased attention ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
San Diego FC is frequently cited as a likely MLS landing spot. The club is backed by Mohamed Mansour, and Hirving Lozano’s expected departure this summer could open a Designated Player spot for Salah.
The Saudi Pro League also remains a possibility, with reports linking Salah to Al Hilal as well as NEOM SC and Al-Qadsiah, and with Al Ittihad having made a failed $200 million bid on deadline day in 2023. Al Ittihad revisited interest last summer, and the league has shown capacity to offer very large contracts. For comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo earns a base salary of over $200 million annually at Al-Nassr, while Messi’s base salary is cited as $12 million.
There is also the chance Salah remains in Europe and continues in the Champions League. Galatasaray is mentioned as the most logical continental option should he choose to stay.
The coming weeks are likely to produce clarity, but for now the decision remains open as Salah prepares to depart Liverpool at season’s end.
