In an uncommon style, Salah has given a long notice to his club and fans.
It is one long parting quit notice that they would have to live with for a whole season and probably more.
He has said it is his last year in Liverpool, the formidable club where he turned a global star and to which he too has exceptionally given much.
The implication of his year-long notice is that each time he kicks the ball in Liverpool now, he will be seen as doing so for the club for the last time for that time of the year.
The 32-year-old, whose deal at Anfield is set to expire next summer, scored on Sunday when Liverpool beat Manchester United at the Old Trafford.
Salah, who joined Liverpool in 2017 from a transfer move from As Roma, has scored 217 goals for Liverpool and has become a Club Legend and has also established himself as one of Premier league all time great.
Salah said after the match on Sunday that he had treated the match like it was his last at Old Trafford.
He said that Nobody in the club talked to him about contracts so he was just like he play his last season and see at the end of the season
“I feel I am free to play football – we will see what happens next year.”
When asked about Salah’s comments, manager Arne Slot said: “It’s a lot of ‘if’. At this moment he is one of ours and I am really happy with him being one of ours and he played really well.
“I don’t talk about contracts from players but I can talk for hours about how Mo played today.”
In July 2022, Salah signed a new three-year deal, making him reportedly the highest paid player in the club’s history, on more than £350,000 a week.
Liverpool rejected a £150m offer from Al-Ittihad for Salah last September.
