The football world has been rocked by the news that Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the current season.
The Egyptian forward confirmed his decision via a heartfelt social media post on Tuesday evening ending months of speculation regarding his future at Anfield.
During his nine-year stay Salah has been the cornerstone of the club’s success winning both the Premier League and the Champions League while becoming the highest scoring African player in the history of the competition.
While a move to a domestic rival has been effectively ruled out due to his loyalty to the Reds the Saudi Pro League is considered the most likely destination for the 33-year-old.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot faces a daunting task in replacing a player who has recorded over 280 goal involvements for a single club.
Fans have already begun paying tribute to the man often referred to as the Egyptian King as the curtain begins to fall on one of the greatest eras in the history of the Merseyside club.
