SportFootballMohamed SalahMohamed Salah has announced he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season and manager Arne Slot has broken his silence on the matterArne Slot has revealed he was struck by Mohamed Salah's professionalism upon his arrival at Liverpool prior to the pair's falling out. Salah clashed with Slot towards the end of last year and has since confirmed he will depart the Reds at the conclusion of this season.This campaign marks the Egyptian's final chapter at Anfield, as after nine years packed with an abundance of goals and several trophies, he will bid farewell to the club.

Salah's decision was made public through a lengthy social media video, in which he expressed his gratitude to his teammates and the supporters.However, Liverpool's season has been far from plain sailing. He told the club's official website: "He broke record after record after record."Then I started working with him and already the first day I was impressed by his professionalism because as with any season, it starts with a test that shows how much they did in the off-season and he beat all of them.

That hunger never stops and that is something that I find most special about him."Everything he's done for the club, but the moment I started working with him I knew it after one day, let alone after a few weeks or months, that it isn't a coincidence that he's been so influential in the last 10 years in football."Despite this favourable first impression, Salah found himself omitted from Slot's starting line-up earlier this season. He has since been reintroduced into Slot's starting line-up and will continue to play a role until his departure at the end of the season.Liverpool are next in action on Saturday lunchtime as they take on Manchester City in an FA Cup quarter-final at the Etihad.
