The Egyptian is now considered a club legend, and in Liverpool let him go, a year before his contract was up, even though he could be sold in the summer. Even if Liverpool will not choose a transfer fee, the “cormorants” will have an additional 20 million euros in their accounts, the annual salary that the Egyptian gave up.
Mohamed Salah gave up 20 million euros to leave Liverpool
Fabrizio Romano, the renowned Italian journalist, quoted by sportal.gr, revealed that the Liverpool officials decided to allow him to leave the contract because they respect what he did for Liverpool and the decision to change the team, and he is giving up a substantial contract, because for the next season he was scheduled to receive just over 20,000,000 euros.
As for his future, everything points to a transfer to Saudi Arabia, although his agent has left things up in the air: “We don't know where Mohamed Salah will play next season. That means nobody knows where he will transfer,” agent Ramy Abbas said, according to the Italian journalist. However, all indications point to a move to Saudi Arabia or the MLS.
Mohamed Salah arrived at Liverpool in 207 from AS Roma. He played 435 matches and scored 255 goals. He was a four-time Golden Boot winner in the Premier League. He won two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Club World Championship, the European Super Cup, the FA Cup and two League Cups, as well as an FA Super Cup. It is quoted by specialized websites at 30 million euros.
Hello everyone, unfortunately this day has arrived. This is the first part of the breakup. I will leave Liverpool at the end of the season. I want to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this city, this club and these people would become a part of my life. Liverpool is not just a football club, it is a passion, a history, a spirit.
I can't explain in words to someone who isn't part of the club. We celebrated victories with the most important trophies, we went through the hard times together and I want to thank everyone who has been part of this club, especially my colleagues past and present, but also the fans.
I have no words for how much the fans have supported me in the best moments of my career and how they have been by my side in the hard times. I won't forget.
Breakups are not easy. You gave me the most beautiful moments of my life, I will always be one of you, this club will always be my home for me and my family. Thank you for everything, because because of you… “I Will Never Walk Alone”
