Mohamed Salah’s contract with Liverpool expired on June 30, 2026, making him a free agent after nine seasons at Anfield. The 33-year-old Egyptian forward announced his decision to leave back on March 24, departing as the club’s all-time leading scorer: 257 goals in 441 appearances.
The final act at Anfield
Salah’s last match in a Liverpool shirt came against Brentford at Anfield in late May. Reported tensions with manager Arne Slot over playing style and role had simmered throughout the campaign.
Salah’s exit was a free transfer. Liverpool didn’t pocket a fee, but they also saved up to £26 million in potential costs that would have come with extending the contract of a player in his mid-thirties.
During his time at the club, Salah played a central role in helping Liverpool secure a record-equalling 20th English league title.
