Premier League Pays Tribute to Mohamed Salah as Liverpool Legend Departs After Nine-Year Spell

Mohamed Salah’s time in the Premier League has come to an end, with the competition’s official channels marking the occasion on the final day of the 2025/26 campaign. The league’s social media account published a tribute video on May 24, 2026, accompanied by the message: “Today, we say goodbye to a Premier League legend. Thank you, Mohamed Salah.”

The farewell post, shared by the Premier League’s official account, compiled some of the Egyptian forward’s most defining moments during his time in England — a career that spanned nine years and produced a catalogue of individual and collective honours.

Salah joined Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017 and swiftly became one of the most clinical attackers the league has seen. Over the course of his Anfield tenure, he accumulated multiple Golden Boot awards, Premier League Player of the Season honours, and cemented his place among Liverpool’s all-time leading scorers. On the final day of the season, reports indicate Salah surpassed club icon Steven Gerrard in Liverpool’s scoring records during the Reds’ draw against Brentford.

Known as the “Egyptian King” among the Liverpool faithful, Salah was a key figure during one of the club’s most decorated modern eras. His contributions helped Liverpool secure major domestic and European trophies, including the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League title — the latter ending a 30-year wait for the club.

His departure closes a chapter that featured title-winning goals, memorable solo efforts, dramatic late winners, and some of the most iconic individual performances in recent Premier League history. Salah’s exit is widely regarded as the end of a significant era at Anfield.

The tribute comes amid what has been a reportedly turbulent final chapter at the club. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher publicly criticised Salah over what he described as a “selfish” social media post, while Gary Neville also expressed disappointment at a separate social media outburst from the forward — incidents that added an element of friction to an otherwise celebrated farewell.

Salah departs the Premier League as one of its most statistically dominant forwards of the modern era. His nine seasons at Liverpool place him among a small group of players who have sustained elite-level output over such a prolonged period in English football. The wider footballing world will now monitor where the 33-year-old — who has been linked with a move away from England — continues his career.
