Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has opened up about the private counsel he offered Mohamed Salah following the forward’s public falling out with head coach Arne Slot. The attacker caused shockwaves across Merseyside earlier this season when he hit out at his manager’s selection decisions, but a text exchange with the club's greatest-ever captain helped steady the ship before his final farewell.
There was always a chance that Liverpool would announce a high-profile departure during the international break and, just three days after their latest Premier League setback at Brighton, the Reds confirmed that Mohamed Salah would be leaving at the end of the current campaign. The timing of the announcement surprised some, but Salah had successfully pushed for the news to be made public more than two months before the end of the season in what felt like an obvious attempt to control the narrative surrounding his painful and unexpectedly early exit.
After nine memorable years at Liverpool, Mohamed Salah will be bidding farewell to Anfield over the summer. He is being released as a free agent, with John Barnes telling GOAL why the Reds are happy to pass on a potential £20 million ($26m) transfer fee. Premier League and Champions League title winner Salah is seeing the final year of his contract on Merseyside terminated.
Liverpool have been handed a significant double boost ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final showdown with Manchester City this Saturday. Head coach Arne Slot has confirmed that both Mohamed Salah - who has already announced he will be leaving the club at the end of the season - and Alexander Isak are expected to return to team training this week.
Former Liverpool managing director Christian Purslow believes that the Reds are agreeing to let Mohamed Salah leave as a free agent as they discovered there “wasn’t a market” for the 33-year-old Egyptian. Despite his exploits across nine seasons in England, Salah is not considered to be of the Cristiano Ronaldo mould and would have found it difficult to find a suitor willing to part with a big-money transfer fee.
Mohamed Salah has, as he prepares to leave Liverpool as a free agent, been warned off a move to join Inter Miami superstar Lionel Messi in MLS. The Egyptian forward has been told that he would be “too far out of the spotlight” in America, with the director of his national team informing the 33-year-old forward that he should instead consider a switch that sees him follow Cristiano Ronaldo to the Saudi Pro League.
Bayern Munich have officially dismissed mounting speculation suggesting they have made a move to sign Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah on a free transfer this summer. The 33-year-old Egyptian international recently confirmed his departure from Anfield, sparking intense rumours about his next destination, but the Bundesliga giants have issued a firm response.
Mohamed Salah is leaving Liverpool, with the Reds prepared to let the Egyptian superstar go as a free agent in the summer of 2026, but does a move to join Lionel Messi at Inter Miami beckon? A switch to MLS for Salah has been mooted, amid links to big-spending teams in the Saudi Pro League, and Fabrizio Romano has delivered an update on that transfer speculation.
Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard has cast doubt over whether Jarrod Bowen possesses the quality to succeed Mohamed Salah at Anfield. As the Reds prepare for life after their Egyptian King, the former captain suggests Arne Slot requires a different profile on the flanks.
Mohamed Salah’s future remains the subject of intense speculation as his time at Liverpool winds down, but a romantic return to the Italian capital appears to be off the table. Despite emotional ties to the Giallorossi, the financial reality of modern Serie A has turned a potential reunion into nothing more than a fantasy while the Egyptian King is being courted by the riches of the Middle East and the allure of North America.
Jurgen Klopp has warned his former club Liverpool that finding a successor for Mohamed Salah will be an impossible task for the Reds hierarchy. The German, who oversaw the most prolific years of the Egyptian’s career, believes the forward's unique output makes him a one-of-a-kind talent in world football.
