Mohamed Salah leaves Liverpool on a free transfer
Egypt's record scorer brings the curtain down on a nine-year spell at Anfield, reaching a mutual agreement to terminate his contract twelve months early as he weighs up offers from the Saudi Pro League and MLS.
Nine years at Anfield come to an end
Mohamed Salah has left Liverpool as a free agent after the two parties reached a mutual agreement to terminate his contract a year ahead of schedule. The 33-year-old Egyptian arrived from Roma in 2017 and leaves as the club's record Premier League goalscorer, having won the Premier League twice, the Champions League and a host of domestic cups along the way.
Saudi Pro League the frontrunner
Al-Hilal are understood to be the leading contenders for Salah's signature, with Saudi Arabia regarded as the strongest pull. MLS clubs in the United States remain in the picture as an alternative, while Turkish sides Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas have also registered interest.
Decision expected soon
Salah is taking time to assess his options following Egypt's exit from the World Cup, with his agent indicating a full announcement on his next club could come "very soon."
