Liverpool confirmed on Tuesday that Mohamed Salah will leave the club at the end of the 2025\u201326 season. Salah announced the decision himself in an emotional farewell video posted on social media, a montage of his years at the club framed by two candid lines from the player: \u201cUnfortunately, the time has come [to leave Liverpool],\u201d and \u201cbecause of all of you [Liverpool fans], I will never walk alone.\u201c<\/p>\n
Since arriving at Anfield in the summer of 2017, Salah established himself as a defining figure for the club. The draft of his career at Liverpool includes two Premier League titles, a Champions League and more than 250 goals. That body of work prompted an immediate outpouring online from supporters, former rivals and commentators.<\/p>\n
Social media highlights captured the mixture of grief and admiration:<\/p>\n
“Nothing is more undeniable than the record 3 PFA awards. Completely voted for by fellow PL players”<\/p>\n
“It will be decades before we see another player put up the numbers Salah has for this club. Literally decades”<\/p>\n
“Salah was holding back real tears in that farewell message. Truly one of the modern greats, for the club and the league.”<\/p>\n
Other posts placed Salah\u2019s exit in the context of wider change at Liverpool, noting how the squad has already been reshaped following the departures of key figures: “Prominent figures that defined Liverpool\u2019s most successful era of the 21st century, such as J\u00fcrgen Klopp, Sadio Man\u00e9, Roberto Firmino and Trent Alexander-Arnold are no longer with the club. Salah\u2019s departure is perhaps the biggest of them all, a move that marks the end of a glorious chapter in Liverpool\u2018s history.”<\/p>\n
Fans also reacted with personal emotion and future uncertainty: “Mo Salah leaving Liverpool. It is the right time. But what a signing. What a player. End of an era.” Others reflected on the impact across the Premier League and the sport.<\/p>\n
For Liverpool, the task ahead is clear: manage a high-profile transition while preserving the standards set during Salah\u2019s nine seasons. For supporters, the farewell will be one of the season\u2019s defining moments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
