Salah Doubles Down on Liverpool Exit - 'Weren't Going in the Right Direction'
Mohamed Salah says his nine-year Liverpool spell will end with a mutual parting after a frustrating season and a broken relationship with Arne Slot.
On Sunday, Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah will play his final match at Anfield against Brentford, concluding a nine-year tenure with the club. Salah told an LFC Original film that "the people mean everything, the city means everything."
Across his 441 appearances, Salah established himself as a Premier League icon, scoring 193 goals and earning a record-equalling four Premier League Golden Boots. He netted 257 times in all competitions, cementing his status as one of Liverpool's greatest players.
His 2020 goal against Manchester United remains a symbolic career highlight, as Alisson was the first to congratulate him and the Kop famously chanted, "We're going to win the league." The strike demonstrated his individual quality on the counter-attack.
Following a difficult season, Salah claimed he had been "thrown under the bus" after being benched, and stated his relationship with head coach Arne Slot had broken down. This marked the unhappiest period of his tenure at Anfield.
The club and player reached a mutual decision to part ways with one year remaining on his contract. Salah's departure marks the end of a trophy-laden era that saw Liverpool win the Champions League and two Premier League titles.
