Mohamed Salah's Liverpool farewell and legacy highlighted as final match approaches
Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah is set to leave Liverpool after nine seasons, having joined the club in the summer of 2017 from AS Roma. His final Premier League appearance will be on 24 May at Anfield against Brentford, marking the end of a partnership that produced 257 goals, four Premier League Golden Boots and three PFA Players' Player of the Year awards.
Ahead of the farewell, Salah posted a critical message on social media about the club's direction, prompting former players Wayne Rooney and Jamie Carragher to suggest he could be dropped from the squad. Liverpool manager Arne Slot has so far indicated that benching the club icon would be unnecessary and could tarnish his send‑off.
Salah’s legacy also extends beyond the pitch: he is recognised as one of the most prominent Muslim footballers worldwide and has become a cultural figure in England and Egypt. His achievements place him third on Liverpool’s all‑time scorers list and in the company of the Premier League’s most prolific forwards.
