“The time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will follow later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield.”
It has been revealed that the decision to announce the decision now is partly down to Salah himself.

He won the league twice at the club as well as the Champions League title in 2019.
Salah also picked up winners’ medals in the FA Cup and League Cup.
The attacker’s prolific record in front of goal has seen him win the Prem golden boot on four occasions and climb to third in the Reds’ all-time scoring list.
Salah has previously been linked with an exit from the club with interest mounting from the Saudi Pro League.
The buzz around him ended with a two-year contract extension being signed in April 2025.
