Salah says he will always love Liverpool as he prepares to bid farewell
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, April 25, 2026

LIVERPOOL forward Mohamed Salah insists he will always love the club as his nine-year tenure comes to an end.

This season has been the most frustrating and unhappiest of his time at Anfield, in which he won the Champions League and two Premier League titles as well as four Golden Boots, and that has been reflected in some of his public comments.

In December he was dropped from the squad after claiming he had been “thrown under the bus” after being benched after a run of poor results for the team and he also said his relationship with head coach Arne Slot had broken down.

That was patched up enough for him to return to the team after the Africa Cup of Nations but the mutual decision to part ways with a year of his contract still remaining suggested it was only a temporary truce.

His social media post after last week’s defeat at Aston Villa, calling for a return to the “heavy metal football” of the Jurgen Klopp era may have resonated with fans but it did little to convince observers he and Slot see eye to eye.

But as his final day at the club approaches with the visit of Brentford tomorrow, Salah spoke about his feelings for the Liverpool and its supporters.

“The club means everything. The people mean everything, the city means everything. I will always love this club. I will always support it,” he told Salah: Farewell to the King, an LFC Orginal film made available on YouTube.

“It means to me everything. You live in the club, you feel the love and appreciation from the fans.

“This is the most important thing, people appreciate what you have done and appreciate everything you’ve done for them and for yourself.

“It feels special. I’m blessed. Not too many people had the opportunity to play here nine years and perform how I performed or just enjoy or go through the process that I’ve been through.

“So, it’s a blessing and something I don’t take for granted.”
