Mohamed Salah has confirmed he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season after nine trophy-laden years at Anfield, with Saudi Pro League clubs and MLS emerging as possible destinations

Mohamed Salah remains in positive spirits and composed following his stunning Liverpool revelation, according to reports.

A report from the Qatar-based news outlet WinWin suggested that the 33-year-old appeared calm after delivering the shocking news, shared on social media on Tuesday evening. The Egyptian record-holder confirmed his departure from the Reds following a trophy-filled nine-year spell on Merseyside.

Salah's statement ends the uncertainty and speculation surrounding his future at Liverpool, which initially emerged after his explosive remarks following his squad exclusion in December. The Liverpool faithful and Anfield supporters will say goodbye to the legend in May as he concludes a Premier League era that delivered two league titles and the Champions League.

He said: "Hello everyone, unfortunately the day has come. This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.

"I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, these people would become part of my life. Liverpool is not just a football club, it's a passion, it's a history, it's a spirit. I can't explain in words to anyone not part of this club.

"We celebrated victory, we won the most important trophies and we fought together through the hardest time in our life. I want to thank everyone who was part of this club throughout my time here, especially the teammates past and present.

"And to the fans, I don't have enough words. The support you showed me through the best time of my career and you stood by me in the toughest times. It's something I will never forget and something I will take with me always.

"Leaving is never easy. You gave me the best time of my life. I will be always one of you.

"This club will always be my home to me and to my family. Thank you for everything. Because of all of you, I will never walk alone."

Liverpool had brushed aside Saudi Arabian interest during Jurgen Klopp's final campaign, though the threat resurfaced last term as Salah was driving the Reds towards a second Premier League title.

The Egyptian was out of contract last summer, but Liverpool secured his signature on a lucrative new two-year deal. However, with just over 12 months remaining on that contract, he will depart Anfield at season's end.

It is widely expected that he will leave as a free agent, with clubs from Saudi Arabia already being touted as potential suitors for the African legend, while the MLS has also emerged as a possible destination for the prolific forward.
