Mohamed Salah fulfilled the promise he made on his first day as a Liverpool FC player.
“I will give 100 per cent and give everything for the club,” Salah said after joining Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017.
Over the next nine years, the Egyptian forward delivered far more than anyone could have imagined, establishing himself as one of the greatest players in Liverpool’s history.
Salah leaves Anfield with an extraordinary legacy built on trophies, records, unforgettable performances, and remarkable consistency.
He scored 257 goals and provided 120 assists in 442 appearances for Liverpool, making him one of the club’s most influential players of the modern era.
Only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt have scored more goals for Liverpool, while Salah also became the club’s all-time leading scorer and assist provider in the Premier League.
During his time on Merseyside, Salah helped Liverpool win two Premier League titles, the UEFA Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup, and two Carabao Cups.
Individually, he claimed multiple major honours, including three PFA Players’ Player of the Year awards and three Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year titles.
After a difficult spell with Chelsea FC earlier in his career, Salah returned to English football as a more complete and determined player.
He made an immediate impact, scoring on his Liverpool debut against Watford FC before finishing his debut season with 44 goals — the second-highest single-season tally in Liverpool history.
One of the standout moments of that campaign came with a stunning goal against Everton FC, which earned him the 2018 FIFA Puskás Award and contributed to his first Premier League Golden Boot.
Salah quickly formed a devastating attacking trio alongside Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mané, with the partnership becoming one of the most feared forward lines in European football.
The trio led Liverpool to the 2018 UEFA Champions League final, though the match ended painfully for Salah after he suffered an early injury in the defeat to Real Madrid CF.
Rather than slowing him down, the disappointment appeared to strengthen him mentally and physically.
The following season, Liverpool narrowly missed out on the Premier League title despite earning 97 points but achieved European glory by defeating Tottenham Hotspur FC in the 2019 Champions League final. Salah opened the scoring with an early penalty as Liverpool secured their sixth European Cup.
In the 2019–20 season, Salah played a key role in ending Liverpool’s 30-year wait for a top-flight league title.
Despite scoring 23 goals — considered modest by his own standards — he remained central to the club’s success, including scoring a memorable goal against Manchester United FC that helped fuel belief among supporters.
Salah’s leadership qualities also became increasingly evident during challenging periods, especially as Liverpool battled through injuries and setbacks in subsequent seasons.
By the 2021–22 campaign, he had evolved into one of the world’s most complete forwards, winning another Premier League Golden Boot and his first Playmaker Award for most assists in the league.
His individual brilliance was showcased in memorable performances against clubs such as Manchester City FC and Watford.
In 2022–23, Salah scored twice in Liverpool’s historic 7–0 victory over Manchester United, surpassing Robbie Fowler to become Liverpool’s leading Premier League goalscorer.
The arrival of manager Arne Slot in 2024 ushered in another remarkable chapter for Salah.
During the 2024–25 season, he produced one of the finest individual campaigns of his career, recording 57 goal involvements — 34 goals and 23 assists — in 52 appearances.
That season also saw him help Liverpool secure another Premier League title, this time celebrated in front of supporters.
Along the way, Salah became the Premier League player with the most goal involvements for a single club and the first African footballer to score 50 UEFA Champions League goals.
On March 24, Salah confirmed he would be leaving Liverpool, bringing an end to one of the greatest eras in the club’s modern history.
In his farewell message to supporters, he said: “Leaving is never easy. You gave me the best time of my life. I will always be one of you.”
Tributes quickly poured in from across the football world, with fellow players, managers, and supporters describing him as a legend, a king, and one of the greatest footballers of his generation.
His emotional farewell at Anfield served as a fitting tribute to a player who transformed Liverpool’s modern era and left an unforgettable mark on world football.
He promised to give everything — and he did.
