Liverpool head coach Arne Slot says Mohamed Salah fully deserves the words that have been sent his way after the bombshell announcement that he is leaving this summer.

But Slot has insisted that nothing will change in Salah's mentality in terms of leaving on a high, because "Mo has always given everything for this club".

"What has happened since he announced it is what he completely deserves," Slot said. "An unbelievable career at this club, every three days, winning trophies. I saw a beautiful picture of him in front of all the trophies he won, so I hope he can add two more before the end of the season. If we have a Mo in the form he has been in for these last few years, that will be a big help for us."

"Hello everyone. Unfortunately, the day has come," Salah said in his message to fans during the international break. "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 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 is a passion, a history, a spirit that 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 lives."

"Mohamed Salah is to bring the curtain down on his illustrious career with Liverpool FC at the end of the 2025-26 season," a statement from Liverpool FC read.

"The forward has reached an agreement with the Reds that will see him close a remarkable nine-year chapter at Anfield.

"Salah expressed his wish to make this announcement to the supporters at the earliest possible opportunity to provide transparency about his future due to his respect and gratitude for them."
