Mohamed Salah Teases Departure Hint with Historic Premier League Milestone
Salah's milestone and the mystery over his Liverpool future

Salah's Historic Milestone

Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian star of Liverpool, celebrated a historic achievement in the Premier League during the 16th round, as Liverpool defeated Brighton 2-0.

In the 60th minute he provided the assist for the second goal, delivering a corner to Hugo Ekitike, who headed it home.

Salah has become the most prolific contributor to goals for a single Premier League club, reaching 277 goal contributions, surpassing Wayne Rooney's 276 for United.

Across 302 Premier League appearances for Liverpool, he has 188 goals and 89 assists, a staggering tally that keeps Salah in the conversation with the all-time greats.

Placed alongside Rooney in the chart are Ryan Giggs, Harry Kane, Thierry Henry, and Frank Lampard in the list of the top all-time contributors for a single club in the competition.

The Rumor Mill: Reactions, AFCON, and the Road Ahead

After posting the milestone graphic, interpretations varied: some see it as a direct response to critics, others as a subtle farewell as Salah heads to Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

With reports of a potential move in the January window, questions about Salah's return to Liverpool linger, and the possibility that he may wear a different shirt soon — or perhaps return as a hero if he stays.

In the end, if the photo proves to be a goodbye message, it doubles as a reminder of Salah's excellence as one of the all-time greats to play in the Premier League.

Punchlines: 1) If Salah moves, the transfer market will need a bigger passport. 2) If he stays, the trophy cabinet will stop pretending it's on a diet.
