The Egyptian king reached an agreement with the Premier League champions to depart on a free transfer after this current campaign in what is an end of an era.
He arrived at Liverpool from AS Roma on 23 June 2017 for £34M and leaves as a club legend after 310 appearances for Liverpool, bagging189 goals and 92 assists.
Earlier this season the winger had a falling out with Slot, saying he had been thrown “under the bus” by the Dutchman who has now broken the silence and wished Salah all the best for the final stage of the season.
“Hopefully he can make his legacy even more special in the upcoming weeks and months where we still play for something special. But he will always leave this club as a legend because, as I said, the way this club has performed in the last seasons is also for a large part due to what he’s done for it.
“Scoring goals, having his assists. As I said, as a fan I watched him and that front three with Sadio Mane and Bobby Firmino… everybody is still talking about that, and rightly so.”
“And then when I started working with him, I don’t know if it was his best season in terms of numbers, but it was an impressive season because he had the most goals and the most assists and I don’t know if that has happened much with him, let alone with any player in the Premier League.
“He will definitely leave as a legend of this club.”
Salah, who is the third-highest goalscorer in Reds history with 255, will play his final 7 Premier League games of the season in the coming months before waving goodbye at Anfield on the final day of the campaign.
