Why is anyone surprised??
Thought it was pretty obvious when he signed for two years it was so we could get a fee for him from Saudi when he finishes.
And as for timing of the announcement, wasn’t everyone saying we needed to say a proper goodbye to our legend??
Plenty of opportunity now until the end of the season.
Best for both parties, his last hurrah was last season and a title win.
No problem for me whatsoever, perfect timing.
It's only perfect timing if we had got a decent fee for him, and a top quality manager replaced Slot and was given that money plus a fair chunk more to get in a top drawer replacement that they want.
As it stands we're losing our one and only pacey, skilful right sided attacker for naught, and we've got a manager, CEO and sporting director who I currently wouldn't trust to get in a good replacement and get the best out of them.
That’s crazy, surely worth Ł30m + to one of the Saudi clubs
Where did u get that from Sid? If true sounds like his agent has played another blinder. Big signing on fee to compensate if his new salary isn't the same as we pay him. I'd have hoped to get a fee for him, he knows himself he hasn't justified that new contract whatsoever
Great career, great memories, wonder if hes off for Saudi or Europe ?
Heres a previous post just with Salah stats compared with Rush & Suarez.

A real legend for LFC & the PL.
Perfect timing 😂. He's leaving for fuck all. Wasn't the whole point of giving him a 2 year deal last year would be that we'd get a decent fee for him this summer when everyone knew he was going to leave?
I don't think that was necessarily the point at all, no.
Both he and Van Dijk got two more seasons. I think there was every intention that they would get the last drops of football they had out of them whilst retaining the "leadership group" with a view to being able to challenge for (and ideally win) one or both of the Premier League and Champion's League during their remaining time with us, whilst ushering in the rebuilding of the squad - by the end of their time with us we would be in a position where they were no longer "needed" as the core/leadership players - same for Ali and Robbo - I think preserving his value for a potential transfer fee with one year to go was just a secondary thing and not the main goal.
