Salah: I Will Always Love and Support Liverpool

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah insists he will always love the club as he prepares to bid farewell after nine years at Anfield. This season has been the most frustrating and unhappy of his tenure with the Reds, where he lifted the Champions League and two Premier League titles, alongside securing four Golden Boots. This sentiment has been reflected in some of his public comments. In December, he was dropped from the squad after claiming he was "thrown under the bus" following being benched after a string of poor team results. He also suggested his relationship with manager Arne Slot had deteriorated. His social media post last week, following the 4-2 loss to Aston Villa, where he called for a return to the "heavy metal football" of the Jürgen Klopp era, may have resonated with fans, but it failed to convince observers that he and Slot are on the same page.

“The club means everything. The people mean everything, the city means everything. I will always love this club. I will always support it,” Salah stated. “It means everything to me. You live at the club, you feel the love and appreciation from the fans. That’s the most important thing – people appreciate what you’ve done, and they appreciate everything you’ve done for them and for yourself. I feel special. I’m blessed. Not many people have had the opportunity to play here for nine years and perform as I have, or simply to enjoy or go through the process I’ve been through. So, it’s a blessing and something I don’t take for granted,” explained the Egyptian international.
