Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season, with the club confirming the news in a statement that brings a legendary career towards its close.
That alone makes this a huge moment for the club. Salah has not just been one of Liverpool’s best players of the modern era, he has been one of the defining figures of it.
There will be time for the full tributes and the bigger legacy conversations later.
Liverpool supporters now know the end date for a player who has shaped so much of the club’s recent success.
Club statement confirms Salah exit
Liverpool’s message was brief but emotional. The club released the statement: “Mohamed Salah is to bring the curtain down on his illustrious career with Liverpool Football Club at the end of the 2025-26 season.
“The time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will follow later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield”
Is Mohamed Salah Liverpool’s greatest EVER player?
Nine years of sheer brilliance are coming to an end…
That wording tells its own story. Liverpool are not trying to package this as anything other than the end of an era, and they already know the scale of the goodbye that is coming.
Sure, this season hasn’t been amazing, but this is a player who can only be considered one of the best ever to grace the Anfield pitch.
Salah’s departure leaves a massive gap, not just in goals and output, but in stature. Players like this do not come around often, and replacing that level of consistency, threat and presence will be one of the biggest tasks facing Liverpool in the months and years ahead.
