Why Liverpool Decided to Let Salah Go - The Mammoth Salary the Egyptian is Leaving Behind

Mohamed Salah and Liverpool announced tonight (March 24) that their partnership will conclude at the end of the current season.

Thus, the "Pharaoh" will depart from the Reds, where he arrived in 2017 and became a beloved figure.

He celebrated numerous titles at Anfield, most notably a Champions League trophy (leading the club to three finals in total) and two Premier League titles.

The Egyptian is now considered among the club's legends, raising the question of why Liverpool decided to release him a year before his contract was set to expire (in the summer of 2027).

Even at 34, he remains a significant asset, and they could have transferred him for several million euros.

Fabrizio Romano provided the answer, revealing that the Reds' management decided to allow him to leave as a free agent, respecting his desire to embark on a new chapter in his career.

This decision honored his history with the team and his immense contributions. Salah, in turn, will forgo a substantial contract, as he was scheduled to earn just over 20,000,000 euros for the upcoming season!

As for his future, all signs point to... Saudi Arabia and Al-Hilal.
