Aside from the current campaign, the Egyptian King has played the biggest part in bringing Liverpool success, initially in the Jurgen Klopp era, and also in Arne Slot's opening campaign.
Salah's output has been sensational
A player who really found his footballing home at Anfield, Salah's output has been nothing short of sensational. Even Ballon d'Or worthy, perhaps.
Whether he'll be granted legendary status to put himself alongside the likes of Steven Gerrard and Kenny Dalglish et al is a subjective matter, but he can hardly have done more to make his mark on such a storied institution.
After joining the club in 2017, Salah has gone on to create the most chances in open play in the Premier League (534) during the subsequent nine-year period.
255 goals scored in all competitions to date mean that only Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285) have scored more in Liverpool's entire history, and both Rush and Hunt were centre-forwards rather than wingers.
Quickest ever to 100 goals for Liverpool
His first century of goals came in just 151 games, a club record, whilst his haul of 44 goals in his first season at the club can only be bettered by Rush's 47 goals from the 1983/84 season.
Only Gerrard has notched more penalties (47) than Salah's 46, meaning the 33-year-old still has the chance to break that particular record, with seven league games left to play, as well as at least two in the Champions League and one more in the FA Cup.
Last season, Salah scored 29 goals and assisted 18 more in the Premier League, and those 47 goal involvements are the most by any player in a 38-game campaign.
In terms of assists, he's currently on 119, of which 92 have come in the Premier League - a Reds record he jointly holds with Gerrard. One more in the English top-flight would put him out on his own in this regard.
Third for European appearances
Gerrard again trumps Salah in terms of European appearances, with the former on 130 and the latter on 94, though neither comes close to Jamie Carragher's record of 150.
The Egyptian can at least boast the best scoring record for the club in European competition, with 48 of his 53 goals coming in the Champions League.
With multiple individual accolades and trophies to go with a UCL title, the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, two Premier Leagues, an FA Cup and two League Cups, Salah has the silverware to show for his continued excellence.
A shooting accuracy that's rarely dropped below 60%, and a reasonable conversion rate are both indicators of his willingness to get in the right positions and at least give himself the best chance of success.
The right time to leave
With 222 big chances missed and Salah also having hit the woodwork on 39 separate occasions, who's to say just how many more goals he could've scored?
A drop off in output this season - to date, he has 10 goals and nine assists in 33 appearances in all competitions - gives rise to suggestions that he would tarnish his legacy somewhat if he outstays his welcome.
After his outburst at the club earlier this season, it really was only a matter of time before the curtains closed on this period of his career, and it also feels the right time for that to happen, regardless of whether relations between club and player have become strained.
The hat-trick at Man United - the first Premier League player to do so, - the goals against Man City, the missile against Chelsea, and so many other great goals besides; they are the moments that Liverpool supporters will want to remember him for.
A send-off fit for a King
Though it will likely have gone under the radar, an incredible disciplinary record that has seen Salah receive just 11 yellow cards in the entire time he's been with the Anfield outfit is worth recognising too, given the battering he's often received at the hands of opposition defenders.
Liverpool host Brentford on the final day of the 25/26 campaign, and that will be Salah's farewell in front of his adoring public, assuming injuries don't play a part in the next few games.
Though the Anfield faithful certainly didn't give one of their own - Trent Alexander-Arnold - a favourable send-off at the end of last season, it would be a travesty if they weren't to all rise as one and acclaim the best player Liverpool have had in their ranks these past few years.
