Mohamed Salah is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, the forward announced on Tuesday.

“Unfortunately the day has come. This is the first part of my farewell,” Salah said in a video posted on X. “I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.”

Salah, 33, is the third in Liverpool’s all-time leading scorer’s list with 255 goals in 435 appearances and is only behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.

The Egyptian, who joined the club in 2017, has won the Premier League twice, the Champions League, the FA Cup, Super Cup, Club World Cup and the League Cup.

“I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, this 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,” Salah added.

“I can’t explain in words to anyone not part of this club. 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,” he said.

Salah was instrumental in Liverpool ending its 30-year top flight league title drought when the club won the Premier League in 2019-20.

Last season, he produced his second-best scoring season with the club when his 29 league goals fired the Reds to another league crown on the back of which he signed a lucrative new two-year contract.

His exit signs came as early as November when an explosive interview put him on a collision course with Liverpool manager Arne Slot.

He accused the club of throwing him “under the bus” after he was benched for three games in a row and said he had no relationship with Dutchman.
