Mohamed Salah says Liverpool will always stay close to the heart as the forward prepares for a last appearance. The Egyptian is set to feature for the final time when Liverpool host Brentford at Anfield on Sunday. The match closes a nine-year spell that reshaped Salah’s career and the club’s recent history.
The farewell has been marked by a Liverpool-produced film, Salah: Farewell to the King, in which Salah speaks directly about the bond with Merseyside. “The club means everything. The people mean everything, the city means everything. I will always love this club. I will always support it,” Salah says, summing up deep feelings before the Brentford game.
Across all competitions, Salah has played 441 games for Liverpool, scoring 257 goals and delivering 119 assists. Those numbers place Salah among the club’s most productive attackers of the modern era. During this spell, Salah also lifted nine major trophies, including two Premier League titles and one Champions League triumph.
His Liverpool statistics can be set out clearly for fans assessing the impact. The totals below cover every competition during Salah’s time at the club, reflecting league, European and domestic cup matches in one view.
| Mohamed Salah Liverpool record | Total |
|---|---|
| Appearances (all competitions) | 441 |
| Goals | 257 |
| Assists | 119 |
| Major trophies | 9 |
| Premier League titles | 2 |
| Champions League titles | 1 |
This season, Salah has seven Premier League goals and has appeared in only 26 league matches. The return is far lower than last season’s 29 league goals, and Salah could become only the second Golden Boot winner to score 20 or more fewer goals the following campaign, alongside Alan Shearer’s drop from 25 to two between 1996-97 and 1997-98.
Salah’s reduced minutes followed a difficult relationship with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot. The 33-year-old says trust broke earlier in the season, with Salah claiming Slot “thrown under the bus” Salah. The situation limited Salah’s role, despite the long record of influence within the squad and strong past scoring numbers.
Reflecting on those nine years, Salah again stressed the connection with supporters and the experience of playing at Anfield. “It means everything to me. You live in the club, you feel the love and appreciation from the fans. This is the most important thing. People appreciate what you have done and appreciate everything you’ve done for them and for yourself. It feels special. I’m blessed. Not too many people have had the opportunity to play here nine years and perform how I performed or just enjoy or go through the process that I’ve been through. So, it’s a blessing and something I don’t take for granted.”
Salah’s farewell against Brentford closes a period defined by consistent goals, major trophies and a strong relationship with Liverpool’s fanbase. The final appearance at Anfield underlines how much Liverpool has meant to Salah, and how Salah’s performances have shaped expectations for forwards who follow in the coming seasons.
