DEVASTATING NEWS: Coming live from Anfield, Liverpool star mohammed salah to leave anfield next summer. According to reports, salah has told his club about his departure which broke the internet this morning he said, ” it’s painful to me to announce that this will be my last season with this prestigious club my time here at anfield is full with wonderful memories I will always cherish, the fans have been wonderful ever since day one and I’m grateful. once a red forever a red. But now I’m am focused and prepared for the new season ahead”. Salah departure imminent as player confirms.

It was a mildly humorous moment during an otherwise encouraging evening for Liverpool, but it highlighted Mohamed Salah’s eagerness for the new challenges ahead. After sprinting past the Arsenal defense to latch onto Harvey Elliott’s precise pass, Salah ended up on his back at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, having slotted the ball into the bottom corner to give Liverpool an early lead. Despite his prone position, Salah celebrated by punching the air in delight before being helped to his feet by his teammates.

For Salah, no match is meaningless. He continued to produce results, assisting Dominik Szoboszlai for the lone goal against Real Betis in Liverpool’s opening game of their U.S. tour. Against Arsenal, Salah elevated his performance, frequently outplaying his marker Oleksandr Zinchenko. With a freshly-shaved head, Salah appeared more streamlined and robust.

Next up for Liverpool is Manchester United in the early hours of Sunday morning in South Carolina. Given Salah’s impressive track record against their North West rivals, it’s likely the 32-year-old will make an impact once again. However, all this is happening with the knowledge that Salah is in the final year of his Liverpool contract. This pre-season and the upcoming opening day match against Ipswich Town may be his last with the Reds.

Despite this, Salah seems unfazed and is playing with renewed determination after a disappointing end to last season. An injury at the Africa Cup of Nations was aggravated upon his return, limiting him to just six goals in the final two months of the campaign. This culminated in a tense exchange with Jurgen Klopp on the touchline at West Ham United. Typically, Salah returned to the starting lineup the following weekend, scoring and assisting in a win over Tottenham Hotspur.

New manager Arne Slot clearly views Salah as an integral part of Liverpool’s attack. The winger’s interplay with Harvey Elliott, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Conor Bradley against Arsenal was particularly impressive. Salah is facing a new test this season, having to impress a new manager for the first time since Klopp brought him to Anfield in 2017. Slot has already commented on Salah’s fitness levels, showing no signs of the player relying on his past achievements.

The longer Liverpool delay agreeing on a new deal with Salah, the more likely it is that he could leave for free at the end of the season. But if this is to be his final campaign at Anfield, there is no doubt that Salah will give his all, demonstrating the 100% commitment he has shown since his arrival at the club.
