Mohamed Salah has bid farewell to Liverpool at the end of this season in a tribute that was as much directed at the fans as it was about his own career, acknowledging the supporters who ensured he truly never walked alone throughout nine extraordinary years at Anfield. The Egyptian forward delivered his announcement through an emotional social media video, closing his message with a reference to the club’s beloved anthem and declaring that because of the Liverpool faithful, he would never walk alone. His free transfer exit this summer marks the end of a partnership between player and fanbase that was as unique and beautiful as any in the history of the sport.
The supporters who ensured Salah never walked alone were rewarded with 255 goals in 435 appearances, a place third on the club’s all-time scoring list, and performances that delivered two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the FA Cup, and two League Cups. His four Golden Boots and three PFA Player of the Year awards were earned in front of an Anfield crowd that roared every step of his journey, from the early brilliance to the most recent landmark moments.
His contract value of approximately £500,000 per week made a free transfer the most practical financial arrangement. His agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, confirmed that no future club has been chosen, keeping the global transfer market in a state of eager anticipation. Saudi Arabia and top European clubs are all expected to compete for his signature as the summer window approaches.
The fans who never let Salah walk alone were rewarded most recently with his stunning goal against Galatasaray in the Champions League, his 50th in the competition and a record for any African player. Even in a season disrupted by a public dispute with manager Arne Slot, Salah has consistently shown those who have backed him that their support was never misplaced. His commitment to delivering for the club and its supporters has never wavered, even through the most difficult periods.
Liverpool have promised a full Anfield farewell that will give the fans one final opportunity to show Salah that he, too, will never walk alone. Andy Robertson’s tribute, praising Salah’s strength, mentality, and friendship, captured the spirit of a mutual relationship built on respect, loyalty, and love. As Mohamed Salah prepares to walk out of Anfield for the last time as a Liverpool player, he does so knowing that millions of supporters around the world will continue to walk alongside him, whatever path his remarkable journey takes next.
