The Egyptian has become a Liverpool legend.

Mohamed Salah has been a Liverpool stalwart since he joined the club in 2017, helping the club to win a Premier League and Champions League title.

Individually, Salah has won the Premier League Golden Boot three times as a Liverpool player and claimed the league's Player of the Season award in 2018.

Needless to say, it's been a fruitful partnership between player and club, but all things eventually come to an end and another former Liverpool player believes this is the final season for Salah at Anfield.

Speaking to Paddy Power, Mark Lawrenson explained why he thinks Salah's days as a Liverpool player are numbered and how that affects the squad.

“100% Mo Salah will definitely leave this summer," Lawrenson said. 

"No matter what happens this season, I think there was a deal last summer. He’ll go and play somewhere like Saudi Arabia and hopefully Liverpool get a massive fee and get a couple of players on the back of it. Salah will be a king in Saudi!  

“He could've gone last summer and stormed into Jürgen Klopp’s office and said ‘I want to go’ but he’s not done that. The lads who have come in [in Salah’s absence] know that they’re fighting for their position which is great, as long as a couple of them don’t get injured.  

“You can see that Diogo Jota, Darwin Núñez and Luis Diaz like playing with each other and they all scored a goal against Burnley, even Núñez!  

“When Mo Salah goes, and I think he will go, Liverpool might go and get a few more players for those positions.”
