Liverpool has officially announced that Mohamed Salah will leave the club at the conclusion of the current Premier League season. The 33-year-old forward opted for an early disclosure to ensure full transparency regarding his future for the fans.

Liverpool confirmed an agreement to end Salah’s stay a year early. Despite the forward committing to the club until 2027 just last April, the legendary Egyptian will now wrap up his “remarkable” stint at Anfield this season and move on as a free agent.

Liverpool’s statement read: “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.”

Having already secured every major trophy during his time at Liverpool, the 33-year-old still has the chance to bolster his legacy with further silverware before his final season concludes.

The defending Premier League champions remain active on multiple fronts, with an upcoming Champions League quarter-final clash against title-holders Paris Saint-Germain and an FA Cup quarter-final fixture against Manchester City.

Liverpool are also still aiming to qualify for the Champions League through the league. Arne Slot’s side are fifth, which would currently be enough with England in line for a fifth qualifying spot, with seven games to go.

“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.

“Signed from AS Roma in the summer of 2017, the No 11 has firmly established himself as one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s history, helping the club to two Premier League titles, the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups, as well as an FA Community Shield.

“His 255 goals in 435 appearances to date has the Egyptian sitting third on the Reds’ all-time leading goalscorers chart, winning the Premier League Golden Boot on four occasions in addition to a host of personal accolades.

“With plenty still left to play for this season, Salah is firmly focused on trying to achieve the best possible finish to the campaign for Liverpool and, therefore, the time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will follow later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield.”

“Unfortunately the day has come. This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
