Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s talismanic forward whose 2025 season boasts 12 goals and 8 assists in 12 matches, sent shockwaves through the football world on October 26, 2025, by wiping all traces of Liverpool from his X profile—no Reds shirt in his photo, no club mention in his bio—as reported by The Athletic. The move, amid tensions with manager Arne Slot following a 2-1 loss to Manchester United on October 18, 2025, and a 3-0 Champions League thrashing by Atalanta, fuels speculation that the 33-year-old Egyptian’s contract, expiring in June 2026, may mark his final Anfield season, sparking 3.2M #SalahShock posts.

The “profile purge” bombshell? A seismic signal: Salah, signed for £36.9M in 2017, has been linked to Al-Ittihad’s £150M offer and PSG’s interest, his “unrest” a nod to Slot’s high-pressing system clashing with his style, evident in his “passive” play against United (0.22 xG wasted). “I’m focused on now, not next,” Salah posted on X, his voice a cryptic call of clarity, the “wipe” a counter to his 2024 Salah Foundation (£500k raised). Insiders report “frosty” training vibes, the “exit” an exit for the exited.
The “thunderclap of change”? Volcanic: The X cleanse, paired with Salah’s 2025 Ballon d’Or snub, aligns with Liverpool’s 4th-place Premier League standing (18 points from 9 games). The Guardian’s Sid Lowe calls it a “poignant pivot”; The Times’s Carol Midgley praises its “confidence, style, authenticity.” Skeptics, like The Sun’s “drama stunt” jab, fade against the 1-in-2 hype-to-heart ratio, BARB metrics outgunning The Jetty. The “redefining legend”? A clarion call: Salah’s 2024 LFC ambassador role (£1M earned) shines a light for the 1 in 5 stars facing contract clashes (FIFA stats).
This isn’t social media spat; it’s a saga of sovereignty, Salah’s “purge” a beacon for the bold. The choice? Charged. October 26? Not tweak—a tremor. The world’s watching—whispering “Saudi or Europe?” His legacy? Luminous, lingering.
