Liverpool have retained a buy-back clause in the arrangement, but Salah has already said his goodbyes to Elliott with a heartfelt message on social media.
Elliott wrote: "Thank you to everybody at the club for welcoming me from the very first day I arrived, and for looking after me ever since.
"Thank you to the board and Jurgen Klopp for helping me live my dream of becoming a Liverpool player.
I will always have Liverpool in my heart.
