The conversation seemingly focused on the importance of timing and ensuring a departure that reflects his status as one of the club's greatest-ever players. Salah has scored 257 goals for the club, sitting behind only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt in the all-time standings, and he was keen to ensure his exit was handled with dignity.
Expanding on Gerrard’s influence, Salah said: “Yeah, I'm glad that I'm leaving now from a big door, and I think this is also something you mentioned to me, just leaving on your terms, and I still remember those words, so, yeah, I'm happy about it... it's time to go.”
