Mohamed Salah transfer news

Liverpool has announced that Mohamed Salah will be leaving the club at the end of the 2025-26 season. The forward has reached an agreement with the Reds that will see him close a remarkable nine-year chapter at Anfield.

Ian Dennis

Mohamed Salah departure

I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, these people would become part of my life. Liverpool is not just a football club. It's a passion. It's a history. It's a spirit.

Mohamed Salah form

If you think with your head rather than your heart, it's probably the best thing for everyone. He's our highest-paid player and he's not delivering, and that will hurt him.

John Gibbons

Mohamed Salah future

I wonder what the two parties have come to agree, whether there's an offer somewhere else already that he's pre-agreed. A lot of talk about Saudi and whether they are the country that will pay the most money to him.

Stephen Warnock

Liverpool squad planning

Do they have a replacement now in the squad? Absolutely not. No, they don't. The issue is trying to find that player and trying to find them a decent fee.

Stephen Warnock

England youth prospects

I have likened Max Dowman to Wayne Rooney in the past for being this generational talent. I've heard scouts, well, David Pleat in particular, raving about him from three years ago.

Ian Dennis

England squad selection

I'm just sort of focusing on myself and then, you know, happy when I get selected. I don't take that as too much of a negative and then equally when you get selected don't take it as too much of a positive.

Adam Wharton

England tournament selection

The personalities and the character that you have in the squad is very important. Players that understand maybe what their roles may be, you know, they all play such important roles at their clubs that might not be the same at an international level.

Lee Carsley

Wales World Cup qualification

It's that excitement and motivation of achieving it, but also wanting to go back and show everyone what Wales can do.

Ethan Ampadu

Player inspiration

Growing up, Messi was the one that I always loved to watch. I don't think I will replicate it, but I just love to watch him play and I think that's where a lot of the creative side of my game comes from.
