Mohamed Salah (34, Liverpool), a forward who shaped an era of the Premier League, is leaving Liverpool.
Liverpool drew 1-1 with Brentford in the final match of the 2025-2026 Premier League at Anfield in Liverpool, England, on the 25th (Korea time). Liverpool finished the season in fifth place (17 wins, 9 draws, 12 losses, 60 points).
The real star of the day was Salah, who played his final match at Anfield. Salah was substituted out in the 28th minute of the second half. He could not hold back his emotions from the moment he walked off the field. After the final whistle, when fans chanted his name, his eyes finally welled up.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Salah said, "I think I cried more than I have in my whole life," adding, "I am not normally an emotional person. But we spent our youth here together. We shared everything from the beginning to the end."
Salah continued, "We put this club back where it belongs," reflecting on his time at Liverpool.
Another figure saying goodbye was Andrew Robertson. Salah and Robertson joined Liverpool together in 2017 and then led the club's golden era, winning the UEFA Champions League and two Premier League titles.
About Robertson, Salah said, "He was a player who gave everything on the pitch, and fans loved him for exactly that," adding, "It was an honor to share the same locker room."
Salah's next destination has not been decided. The U.S. Major League Soccer where Son Heung-min and Lionel Messi play, and the Saudi league where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, have been mentioned.
