Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has penned a heartfelt farewell message to teammate Luis Díaz, affectionately known as Lucho, following the Colombian winger’s departure from Anfield.
In a touching tribute shared via Salah’s official X (formerly Twitter) accounts, the Egyptian forward praised Díaz’s character, resilience, and impact both on and off the pitch.
“Your energy, drive, and passion on the pitch have left a mark that won’t be forgotten. We were truly lucky to have you at Liverpool, and it’s been an honour to share part of your journey and success story,” Salah wrote.
Díaz, who joined Liverpool in January 2022, quickly became a fan favourite thanks to his explosive pace, flair, and tireless work ethic. His performances were instrumental in the club’s domestic and European campaigns, winning hearts despite battling significant personal challenges during his time at the club.
Salah continued his message, expressing deep admiration for Díaz’s mental strength:
“As a teammate, you were more than reliable — you were inspiring. As a friend, even more so. We all saw the strength it took to keep going through the tough times off the pitch. What you went through would’ve broken most, but you came back strong and gave everything for the club. That kind of resilience sets an example for others and earns nothing but respect.”
The departure of Díaz, reportedly to a top European club (details yet to be officially confirmed), marks the end of a significant chapter for both the player and Liverpool. His time at Anfield was defined not just by goals and assists but by his determination and unwavering commitment to the club.
Fans across social media echoed Salah’s sentiments, flooding comment sections with well wishes and messages of gratitude for Lucho’s contributions.
As Liverpool looks ahead to a new era under manager Arne Slot, Salah’s message serves as a poignant reminder of the bonds and brotherhood that define life at the club — and the legacy that players like Luis Díaz leave behind.
