255 goals, nine years and eight trophies. That’s one of the greatest careers English football has ever seen.

Mohamed Salah is leaving Liverpool at the end of this season. As he goes, let’s look at what he has done and how his future looks. He started in Nagrig, a small village in Egypt.

His talent and skills took him to Chelsea. But they barely used him. Loan moves to Fiorentina and Roma followed, and that's where the world finally took notice.

Roma were reluctant to let him go, but Liverpool persevered. In the summer of 2017, manager Jürgen Klopp paid £34 million. That changed football history.

His first season? 44 goals in all competitions. A Premier League record for a 38-game season. But Salah wasn't just a one-season wonder. He has been relentless and consistent.

Best numbers

He scored 20 or more goals in each of eight consecutive seasons, something no Liverpool player had ever done.

He reached 100 goals for the club faster than any player in its history – 151 appearances. And the trophies came with it: the Champions League in 2019, the club's first league title in 30 years in 2020, and then the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Club World Cup, as well as the UEFA Super Cup.

On May 24, Anfield will say goodbye to one of Africa's greatest football stars. Last season, in Arne Slot's debut year, he put up the best numbers of his entire career – 29 goals and 18 assists – and won the Premier League title again.

Three-time PFA Player of the Year, four Golden Boots; Salah has been one of the greatest to ever play in this league.

Possible clubs

And as he plans to leave in May, he said: "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's a passion. It's a history. It's a spirit." 

So where does he go now? No destination confirmed. But the interest is real and it's coming from everywhere. Saudi Arabia is the frontrunner. Al-Ittihad tried to sign him in 2023 for £150 million, and Liverpool said no.

Now he's a free agent, and they're reportedly circling again. Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr are in the picture too. If he wants to stay in Europe, PSG and Barcelona are options.

Turkish Süper Lig champions Galatasaray are also being mentioned by pundits.

Then there's MLS. San Diego FC, owned by British-Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Mansour, have made no secret of their interest.

Whatever comes next, one thing is certain: at 33, Mohamed Salah still has a lot of football in him.
