Mohamed Salah has stated that “I will never walk alone” after announcing that he will leave Premier League champions Liverpool at the end of the season.
Salah, 33, is an all-time Liverpool legend after scoring 255 goals in 435 appearances since joining from Italian club Roma in 2017.
The “Egyptian King” is third on the club's all-time goalscorers chart behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.
He has won four Premier League Golden Boots and starred for Liverpool in both their 2019/20 and 2024/25 title triumphs as well as lifting the 2019 Champions League trophy.
His Liverpool honours also include a Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup and two League Cups.
Salah, in a video on social media featuring highlights of his time with Liverpool, said: "Hello everyone. Unfortunately, the day has come.
"This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
"I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, these people would become part of my life. Liverpool is not just a football club.
"It's a passion, it's a history, it's a spirit. I can't explain in words to anyone not of this club."
Salah, who in common with many Liverpool players and staff was deeply affected by the death of teammate Diogo Jota in a car crash in July, added: "We celebrated victory, we won the most important trophies and we fought together through the hardest time in our life.
"I want to thank everyone who was part of this club throughout my time here, especially the teammates past and present.
"And to the fans, I don't have enough words. The support you showed me through the best time of my career, and you stood by me in the toughest times. It's something I will never forget and something I will take with me always.
"Leaving is never easy. You gave me the best time of my life. I will be always one of you. This club will always be my home, to me and to my family.
"Thank you for everything. Because of all of you, I will never walk alone," insisted Salah in a reference to the Liverpool fans' anthem.
Salah has only scored five Premier League goals this season, but has recently returned to form.
