Premier League club Liverpool announced in a statement that forward Mohamed Salah will depart the team at the end of the season. The club's press service officially confirmed this decision on Tuesday.

The club statement said: "Salah expressed his wish to make this announcement to the supporters at the earliest possible opportunity to provide transparency about his future due to his respect and gratitude for them." This news was also confirmed via a video message from the player on his social media accounts.

The 33-year-old Egypt international stated in the video: "Unfortunately, the day has come. This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season." He added: "I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, this people, would become part of my life. Liverpool is not just a football club; it's a passion, it's a history, it's a spirit."

Signed from AS Roma in 2017, Salah established himself as one of the best players in the club's history. He helped Liverpool win two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the FA Cup, and two League Cups, as well as an FA Community Shield.

He has scored 255 goals in 435 appearances, making him the club's all-time third-highest goalscorer, and won the Premier League Golden Boot on four occasions. This announcement has sparked significant resonance in the football world, as Salah is regarded as a key symbol of Liverpool's successes in recent years.
