Mohamed Salah has confirmed he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, but his agent has moved quickly to pour cold water on claims that his next club is already lined up.
Abbas Cuts Through the Noise
The moment Salah announced he was bringing his Liverpool career to a close, the usual transfer frenzy kicked in. Ramy Abbas, his long-time agent, wasted no time shutting that down.
Writing on X, Abbas made it clear that neither the public nor the rumour mill knows where Salah will play next season. His message was blunt, sharp, and aimed squarely at people trying to turn guesswork into headlines.
That leaves the door wide open. Saudi clubs are likely to circle again, MLS has been mentioned before, and plenty of top European sides would welcome a player of Salah’s level on a free transfer.
Nine Years, 255 Goals, One Huge Goodbye
Salah will leave Anfield at the end of the campaign after nine years with the club. It is a massive call, especially given that he signed a two-year extension worth £400,000 a week almost exactly a year ago.
He departs as Liverpool’s third-highest scorer, with 255 goals in 435 appearances. The silverware haul tells its own story too: two Premier League titles, a Champions League crown, an FA Cup, two League Cups, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
On the individual side, Salah won the Golden Boot four times and picked up the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award on three occasions. Put simply, Liverpool are not losing just a star name. They are losing one of the defining players of the modern era at the club.
Salah’s Farewell Hits Home
In his farewell message, Salah made it plain this is more than a routine transfer. He spoke about Liverpool becoming part of his life in a way he never expected, and he thanked supporters for standing by him through both the highs and the rough patches.
The tone was emotional without feeling staged. He framed Liverpool as part of his identity now, and said the bond with fans is something he will carry with him long after he leaves.
Liverpool, for their part, said Salah wanted to announce the news early out of respect for the supporters and to be open about what comes next. The club added that he remains focused on finishing the season as strongly as possible before the full goodbye comes later in the year.
Exit Follows a Season of Tension
The split has not come out of nowhere. For months, there had been a growing sense that this could be Salah’s final season on Merseyside.
Back in December, he aired his frustration in an explosive interview, saying he had no relationship with head coach Arne Slot and suggesting promises made to him had not been kept. After being left on the bench against Leeds, Salah said he felt thrown under the bus and hinted that somebody at the club no longer wanted him around.
That row now looks more like the beginning of the end than a passing flare-up.
What Comes Next for Salah
For now, the answer is simple: no one knows. That is the one part Abbas wanted to hammer home.
Still, it is not hard to see why the market will move fast. A player with Salah’s record, profile and commercial pull does not hit free agency often. Saudi Arabia remains an obvious contender after Al-Ittihad’s £150 million bid in 2023, while MLS and elite European clubs could also test the waters.
For fans and, yes, for anyone who likes a transfer punt, this is where things get interesting. Salah’s farewell is settled. His next shirt is not.
