Sunday\u2019s fixture against Brentford at Anfield will be the last match of Salah\u2019s astonishing nine-year spell on Merseyside.<\/p>\n
Now the third-highest scorer in Reds history with 257 goals, the Egyptian has been a spearhead of modern-day success for LFC.<\/p>\n
Champions League glory in 2019 opened the door to multiple honours, including two Premier League titles \u2013 with Salah a near-ever-present talisman throughout.<\/p>\n
As we mark the No.11\u2019s impending departure, read personal tributes from a number of those who have worked alongside Salah since 2017 below.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many words that can be said about him. He\u2019s been an incredible football player, so influential. Absolute special player. Once-in-a-lifetime player, in my opinion. The amount of goals he scored, the assists, the combination together with Sadio (Mane) and Bobby (Firmino), the hard work he puts in. He\u2019s just incredible and (a) leader by example in the things that he does. An incredible player and someone that\u2019s so important for the football club over all those years and a big part of the successes that we have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s one of the most important players of the history of this club. He\u2019s on the top with so many others. His achievements, his records broken, for goals, for assists, for so many things. For time spent in the gym as well! Someone that works really hard, doesn\u2019t rely only on his qualities but improves his qualities on the pitch, in the gym, at home, as everyone can see. And then as a person, I think the commitment that he showed through all these years for being the best as he could. Yes, he has that desire for doing things for himself but on the benefit of others as well. I think Mo leaves here a legacy as well about standards. He\u2019s someone that you can tell your kids, \u2018Look to this guy. If you want to be someone good you can follow him on the things that he does.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI arrived in my nearly-30s there and I thought coming from Barcelona, from Bayern (Munich), I\u2019ve learned a lot from very experienced players. Suddenly, a guy with a similar age of mine, you learn a lot. Not just on the pitch, because on the pitch you just try to complement the players. But the behaviour and the human that was behind the player. Amazing human being, amazing professional. Keeps you hungry as well all the time. One of the best teammates I ever had.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a good guy that everyone likes, that everyone admires a lot. And also playing football, a guy who inspires us a lot, of course. On the pitch, during his time at Liverpool he built the history and legacy he is leaving. And he has a beautiful heart. I\u2019m grateful to God for having the privilege of playing alongside Mo Salah.\u201d<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wanted to be the best player. He probably wanted to break all those records, but he wanted the win for the team as well, he wanted to win trophies, he wanted to help the team as much as he could. There\u2019s a difference between being the best player, and being the best player and the best human being \u2013 and I feel like Mo is both of those.\u201d<\/p>\n
