Mohamed Salah career timeline
From Basel and a first spell in England to Italy, Liverpool’s major trophies and a 2026 Anfield farewell.
Salah’s route to Liverpool was not a direct rise through one club. A first Premier League spell at Chelsea was followed by opportunities at Fiorentina and Roma before his return to England. The later milestones trace how individual scoring achievements became part of a sustained period of team success at Anfield.

This timeline selects major events from official club and competition records. Dates describe the event, rather than the day a retrospective was published. Where only a month or year is supported, we keep that precision.
It is not a complete match log or a live goals tally. Confirmed milestones and factual corrections change the update date; routine checks do not.
