Liverpool fans were left in shock as Mohamed Salah revealed that the 2024/2025 season would be his last at the club. The Egyptian forward made this announcement during a post-match interview following Liverpool’s emphatic 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, September 1, 2024. Salah played a pivotal role in the match, scoring one goal and assisting two others, helping the Reds maintain their perfect start to the Premier League season under new manager, Arne Slot.
Salah, who is 32 years old and currently in the final year of his contract with Liverpool, reflected on his future during the interview. He shared that he had spent the summer considering his next steps and ultimately decided to see out his contract with the club.
“I had a good summer, a long time to stay with myself and try to think positive, because as you know, this is my last year at the club,” Salah said. “I just want to enjoy it. I don’t want to think about it, but I feel I’m free to play football, and we’ll see what can happen next year. To be fair, I was coming to the game and said it could be the last time [at Old Trafford]. Nobody in the club talked to me yet about a contract, so I just think, okay, I’ll play my last season and see at the end of the season.”
Salah’s revelation has left Liverpool supporters contemplating the end of an era. Since joining the club in 2017, he has become one of Liverpool’s most iconic players, helping the team secure multiple titles, including the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
When asked whether he might return to play at Old Trafford with another team in the future, Salah remained non-committal, further adding to the speculation about his next move.
As Salah embarks on what could be his final campaign with Liverpool, fans will undoubtedly savor every moment, knowing that they are witnessing the final chapter of a remarkable journey with one of the club’s all-time greats.
