Liverpool, UK — Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian forward who has become synonymous with Liverpool FC’s golden era, is set to bring down the curtain on his illustrious career at the Premier League club at the end of the season.
Since joining Liverpool in 2017 from AS Roma for £34 million ($45.5 million), Salah, 33, has made an indelible mark on the club and world football alike. In 435 appearances across all competitions, he has scored 255 goals, placing him third on Liverpool’s all-time scoring list behind legends Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285).
The forward became the fastest player in Liverpool history to reach 100 league goals, doing so in just 151 matches. His playmaking has been equally impressive, contributing 119 assists, including a joint Premier League club record of 92 with Steven Gerrard. In European competitions, Salah holds the club record for most goals, netting 53, including 48 in the Champions League. He also scored the fastest ever European goal for Liverpool, finding the net after just 55 seconds against FC Midtjylland in 2020.
Salah has consistently delivered on the biggest stages, scoring 16 goals against fierce Premier League rivals Manchester United and 14 against Tottenham Hotspur. Notably, he became the first player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford as an away player against Manchester United in October 2021.
