It's going to be the end of another era at Anfield Mohamed Salah has declared that he expects to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.  Author - William G Salah's first 200 goals for Liverpool. Mohamed Salah has ended speculation about his future, confirming that this will be his final season as a Liverpool player. The 32-year-old Egyptian forward announced his decision to leave the club at the end of the 2024/25 campaign, closing what has been an historic chapter at Anfield. This announcement cements the clues Salah hinted at earlier. Back in September, following a match against Manchester United , Salah implied that this season would likely be his last with the Reds. Today’s statement brings an end to the speculation. Despite the prospect of his departure, Salah continues to demonstrate why he’s regarded as one of the Premier League’s finest. He’s currently the league’s top scorer with 17 goals and has also contributed 13 assists, remaining an indispensable player f...

Mo Salah has been linked with a move away from Liverpool Where could he go? The Egyptian forward is the one Liverpool superstar the club may be willing to sell this summer who could secure a huge fee. The red side of Merseyside are planning a major overhaul on the back of a poor campaign amid takeover speculation and upheaval behind the scenes. Where will the rebuild go next? Title winner Sadio Mane was sold last summer to make way for the club-record Darwin Nunez signing. It will need a similar star-player departure to enable Jurgen Klopp and the club’s recruitment team to bring in the players to try and kickstart a new era. The big question for Liverpool fans (discussed further down the page) is who they would replace Salah with him. Salah's been a huge player for Liverpool In 2017, Salah signed for Liverpool for a then-club record transfer of £36.9 million. In his first season, he set the record for most Premier League goals scored in a 38-game season and helped Liverpool to...

Their problems deepened when goalkeeper Alisson limped off in the second half, shortly after producing a fine stop to deny Victor Osimhen.

Goodison Park’s final derby cer...

Author - William G Stadium - Home Park Arne Slot made 10 changes to the Liverpool side that cruised past Tottenham to reach the Carabao Cup final—and it backfired spectacularly as Plymouth seized their moment to book a place in the fifth round.
