From "Sadio Mané" to "Mohamed Salah," a yearly review of how Liverpool, the prominent English club, has lost key players from their squad.
On 26 Mar 2026, from Senegalese winger Sadio Mané to Egyptian attacker Mohamed Salah, we look back year by year at how Liverpool, a famous Premier League team, has lost vital personnel—both players and managers.
It began in 2022 when Senegalese forward Sadio Mané transferred to Bayern Munich, the German Bundesliga powerhouse, before moving again to Al Nassr in the Saudi league. Then in 2023, Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino left, moving from Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia to Al Sadd.
In 2024, German manager Jürgen Klopp, who was the heart and soul of players and fans, announced his departure to take a break from sideline duties due to exhaustion before returning as global football director for the Red Bull group. Then in 2025, Trent Alexander-Arnold, who seemed set to remain long-term, chose to leave for Real Madrid, the 'Los Blancos,' with the club receiving only a modest transfer fee, causing some fans to burn his jerseys in protest.
Then, in mid-2026 or at this season's end, Egyptian attacker Mohamed Salah will leave Anfield, following an official announcement on 25 March. It is also believed that in 2027, Virgil van Dijk has a considerable chance of leaving the club as his contract nears expiration.
