Ryan Gravenberch has become the first Liverpool player to publicly respond to Mohamed Salah's bombshell departure announcement.

The Liverpool midfielder posted a simple but deeply felt tribute to the Egyptian star in the comments of his teammate's farewell message, the word "Legend" accompanied by a heart emoji.

The understated response from the Dutch midfielder captured the mood inside Anfield on Tuesday, as Salah confirmed in an emotional video message posted to social media that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season, bringing to a close a nine-year stay that has made him one of the greatest players in the club's history.

Salah delivered the news directly to supporters in an Instagram post, speaking to his fans amid clips of his cherished Liverpool moments.

"Unfortunately the day has come," he said. "This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of this season."

"Leaving is never easy. You've given me the best time of my life. I will always be one of you. This club will always be home to me and my family. Thank you for everything. Because of you, I will never walk alone."
