Mohamed Salah has announced he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, thanking the club for for “the best time of my life”.
Liverpool say an agreement has been reached with the legendary forward to end his “remarkable” nine-year stay at Anfield after this season, when he will become a free agent.
Salah’s contract, which he signed only last April, will be cut short by a year after a difficult season for the 33-year-old, which has seen him dropped and publicly fall out with head coach Arne Slot.
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.”
The Egyptian, one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever players, will have his Anfield farewell against Brentford on May 24 on the final day of the Premier League season.
Andy Robertson called Salah “the greatest” as he led the tributes, while another team-mate, Cody Gakpo, described him as a “true legend”. – Skysports
