Mohamed Salah's forthcoming departure from Liverpool signals the conclusion of a transformative era for the club. Since his arrival from AS Roma in 2017, the Egyptian forward has ascended from a gifted winger to a globally recognized football figure. His exit on a free transfer in June 2026 will undoubtedly create a significant void in the Reds' attacking lineup. As supporters prepare to bid an emotional farewell, we revisit the five most significant records he established during his historic tenure at Anfield.
Salah consistently showcased exceptional performance throughout the 2024-25 season. He achieved an astonishing 47 direct goal involvements, comprising 29 goals and 18 assists. This accomplishment surpassed the previous record of 44, jointly held by Thierry Henry and Erling Haaland, underscoring his unparalleled ability to both score and create at an elite level. Even at 32, he maintained his status as the most impactful offensive force in English football.
In March 2023, Salah cemented his legendary status within the club during a commanding 7-0 victory over Manchester United. He netted twice that afternoon, eclipsing Robbie Fowler’s long-standing record of 128 Premier League goals. He has since further extended his tally to 189 league goals for the Reds, positioning him as the fourth-highest scorer in the competition's history, trailing only Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, and Wayne Rooney.
Salah’s remarkable precision earned him the Premier League Golden Boot on four separate occasions: 2017-18, 2018-19, 2021-22, and 2024-25. This impressive collection of awards saw him equal the record set by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. His debut season remains particularly memorable, with his 32-goal tally holding the record for a 38-game season until Erling Haaland surpassed it in 2023.
The "Egyptian King" proved equally formidable on the European stage, netting 53 goals for Liverpool in continental competitions, with 48 of those in the Champions League. He comfortably holds the record as the club’s leading scorer in Europe, significantly ahead of Steven Gerrard. His European achievements also include the fastest hat-trick in Champions League history, famously scoring three goals against Rangers in just six minutes and 12 seconds in 2022.
Salah has undeniably established himself as the premier African player in Premier League history. He surpassed Didier Drogba’s record of 104 goals in October 2021 during a masterful performance against Watford. Since then, he has extended his lead to nearly 80 goals over the former Chelsea striker. His total of 191 Premier League goals, including two for Chelsea, makes him the highest-scoring non-English player in the league’s history, a testament to his longevity and unwavering pursuit of goals.
As Mohamed Salah prepares to embark on a new chapter, his indelible mark on Liverpool Football Club remains. His remarkable achievements, including numerous goal-scoring records and individual accolades, solidify his place as one of the club's all-time greats. Fans will forever cherish the memories and the pivotal role he played in a golden era for the Reds, leaving behind a legacy that will inspire future generations.
