Mohamed Salah becomes Liverpool free agent

Mohamed Salah officially finished his Liverpool contract today, 12 months early, after the club agreed to terminate his deal on July 1. The 34‑year‑old Egyptian winger ends a glittering nine‑year reign that saw him score 257 goals and lift two Premier League titles and a Champions League title.

How did Salah leave Liverpool?

The exit followed a public fallout with manager Arne Slot. Slot was replaced by Andoni Iraola before the start of the season, but the fallout left Salah’s final campaign marred. Liverpool and the forward mutually agreed to cut the contract short, making him a free agent.

Will Salah join Saudi Pro League?

Sources say the most likely destination is Saudi Arabia, but no deal has been announced. The Egyptian international is currently at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, so the move is still hanging in the balance. A Premier League switch would be a dream for Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, but that remains speculation.

Is there a chance Salah returns to the EPL?

Right now, the only certainty is that Salah is a free agent. Whether he re‑enters the Premier League or heads to the Saudi Pro League depends on offers that surface after the World Cup.
