Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of this season, with the club writing off the final year of his contract as part of a mutual agreement to part ways. He departs as a free agent after nine seasons, 255 goals and 435 appearances the greatest player of the modern Anfield era by almost any measure. The transfer market has been flooded with speculation, but Fabrizio Romano was clear: Inter Miami are not in negotiations. MLS rules further complicate that route, with all three of Miami's Designated Player spots occupied. The Saudi Pro League remains the frontrunner Al-Hilal have been chasing Salah for two years and now have a genuine shot. His agent has confirmed no agreement is in place with anyone. Salah himself remains fully focused on Liverpool's Champions League quarter-final against PSG and their FA Cup tie against Manchester City before the summer decision is made. Andy Robertson, who arrived at Anfield the same summer as Salah in 2017, was among the first to pay tribute: "Nine of the best years of our lives." A king is leaving. The search for a successor begins.
