• Why Mo Salah and Liverpool are calling quits on their relationship

  Mohamed Salah and Liverpool have mutually agreed to conclude their nine-year association this summer, citing a need for a fresh start following an underwhelming title defense and shifting tactical priorities under the current regime.

  ​The record-breaking partnership between Mohamed Salah and Liverpool will end this summer as both parties seek a clean break.

  Despite a contract extension last year, sources indicate that a “lacklustre” season and a desire for squad rejuvenation led to the agreement.

  While Salah remains the Premier League’s top performer, the club opted to facilitate a free transfer, acknowledging that his era-defining talents have reached a natural conclusion.

  ​The decision was solidified by Salah’s wish for transparency, allowing fans to process his exit before the campaign closes.

  Internal shifts and the astronomical wages of his £400,000-per-week deal also played a role in the transition.

  Reflecting the mutual respect shared, the club stated, “Salah expressed his wish to make this announcement… to provide transparency about his future due to his respect and gratitude for them.”

• Ex-Magpies Goalkeeper Hislop shares ongoing cancer fight

  Shaka Hislop has revealed he is fighting “fairly aggressive” prostate cancer that has spread to his pelvic bone, and he recently completed a course of radiation therapy.

  Former Newcastle United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop has courageously revealed he is battling “fairly aggressive” prostate cancer following a diagnosis 18 months ago.

  After an elevated PSA test, an MRI and biopsy confirmed the disease. The 56-year-old subsequently underwent a radical prostatectomy one year ago, believing the ordeal was over.

  Hislop shared a heartbreaking update on Instagram, noting his “journey continues.” Six months after surgery, a scan showed the cancer had spread to his pelvic bone.

  The former “Entertainer” has since started medication and just completed seven-and-a-half weeks of radiation therapy.

• Kompany: Munich backs Muller in MLS Cup vs Messi

  Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany confirmed that “the whole of Munich” will support Thomas Muller and the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS Cup final against Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami. Muller boasts a strong record against Messi, including a 2014 World Cup final win, and has quickly adapted to MLS.

  Muller’s immediate impact in MLS comes as no surprise to Kompany, who praised his former player’s ability to reach finals. Vancouver, finishing second in the West, made a historic run to their first MLS Cup final by eliminating FC Dallas, Los Angeles FC, and San Diego FC.
