Mohamed Salah played his final match for Liverpool on Sunday, ending a nine-year tenure at the club that began in 2017 [1, 2, 3, 4]. Liverpool’s last game of the 2025-26 season was a 1-1 draw against Brentford at Anfield, marking Salah’s farewell to the fans [5, 4]. He also provided his final assist during that match, surpassing Steven Gerrard’s Premier League assist record for Liverpool with 93 assists [5, 4].

Salah scored 257 goals in 442 appearances for Liverpool, making him the club’s third-highest all-time scorer behind Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285) [1, 3, 5, 4]. His combined goals and assists led to a contribution every 94 minutes of play at his peak [1]. He also provided 119 assists overall for the club, including the Premier League record number [1, 5, 4].

Salah joined Liverpool in 2017 from Roma for a reported fee between £34 million and £36.9 million [1, 3]. He won multiple trophies with the club including two Premier League titles and four Golden Boot awards as the league’s top scorer [2, 3]. Liverpool finished the 2025-26 Premier League season in fifth place with 60 points, their lowest tally for a top-five finish since 2006-07 [5].

Jurgen Klopp praised Salah’s commitment, saying, "He set completely new standards for a professional football player - how hard you can work, how much you can invest in recovery and everything" [1]. Former Liverpool great Ian Rush said, "Mohamed knew what he had to do to become a Liverpool legend and he took it to a different level" [1].

Salah also made an impact beyond football as an openly Muslim and North African athlete in Europe. Journalist Ahmed Shooble said, "If you told me at 10-years-old that the best player in the league is Muslim... his name was Mohammed Salah, I would have told you to get out of my room, basically" [2].

Alongside Salah, Liverpool defender Andy Robertson also played his farewell match after nine seasons at the club [4, 1]. Virgil van Dijk reflected on the difficult campaign, calling it "the most challenging year of my career" but said, "We are Liverpool. We always come out of it stronger" [5].

Salah announced his decision to leave the club in March 2026, confirming his exit at the end of the season [2, 5]. Liverpool and fans now turn to the next chapter following the departure of one of their most prolific and influential players.
