At 18:30 GMT on Tuesday, Mohamed Salah posted a video on social media to confirm the news that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
The two-minute video contained some of his best moments at the club and he delivered his farewell message sitting in front of some of the trophies he has won during his nine years at Anfield.
He said: "Hello everyone. Unfortunately, the day has come. This is the first part of my farewell. I will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
"I wanted to start by saying that I never imagined how deeply this club, this city and these people would become part of my life.
"Liverpool is not just a football club. It's a passion, it's a history, it's a spirit. I can't explain in words to anyone not part of this club.
"We celebrated victory, we won the most important trophies and we fought together through the hardest time in our life," added Salah, alongside images of the club's tributes to late team-mate Diogo Jota at the start of this season.
The Egypt winger continued: "I want to thank everyone who was part of this club throughout my time here, especially the team-mates past and present.
"And to the fans, I don't have enough words. The support you showed me through the best time of my career and you stood by me in the toughest times. It's something I will never forget and something I will take with me always.
"Leaving is never easy. You gave me the best time of my life. I will always be one of you. This club will always be my home, to me and to my family."
He concluded: "Thank you for everything. Because of all of you, I will never walk alone."
