Mohamed Salah has made a radical decision that will upset the future of short -term Reds.
The cleaver fell in Anfield. Mohamed Salah decided and communicated his decision to Liverpool leaders: he will leave the Reds. An announcement that has the effect of a bomb in the Merseyside and plunges supporters into total misunderstanding. After bringing the club to the top last season, the Egyptian chose to turn the page, leaving his orphaned fans of their hero.
Salah, a scheduled departure for the summer of 2026
Unlike the immediate fears of supporters, Salah will not leave this summer.
The Egyptian international programmed his departure for 2026after his two -year contract signed after laborious negotiations. Planning that gives Liverpool to digest this decision and prepare for the post-Salah in the best conditions.
This announcement intervenes paradoxically after the best season of his career. With 29 goals and 18 assists, Salah led Liverpool as the Premier League in a historic individual campaign. At 33, the Egyptian winger seems to be already having a head elsewhere, attracted by the Saudi sirens who have been courting him for months.

Saudi Arabia in ambush
Salah no longer hides his discussions with the leaders of the Saudi championship. “My relationship with people there remains good and continuous”he said last May. These serious negotiations confirm that his future is already written far from Anfield, despite the unconditional love of supporters who had put pressure for its extension.
Liverpool already anticipates this sports earthquake.
The 300 million euros invested in the transfer market this season are preparing the post-Salah era. A transition that the Reds hope as least painful as possible, even if replacing one of the living legends of the club promises to be mission impossible. The pharaoh will leave in 2026 with an icon status, leaving an abysmal void on the banks of the Mersey.
