For Liverpool, Mohamed Salah’s departure has brought an end to a remarkable era at Anfield. The Egyptian forward left for Trabzonspor earlier this month after years of breaking records, scoring crucial goals and helping the Reds win major trophies.
Salah leaves as one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever players, having scored 257 goals in 442 appearances across all competitions. His impact will be difficult to replace, and new manager Andoni Iraola faces the huge task of building a competitive team without the club’s former talisman.
Liverpool will look to players such as Alexander Isak, new arrival Victor Munoz and teenage prospect Rio Ngumoha to help fill the gap as they prepare for their opening league trip to Newcastle.
Manchester City are also beginning a fresh era following Pep Guardiola’s decision to step down after a trophy-laden decade at the Etihad Stadium.
Guardiola transformed City into one of the most dominant teams in English football, winning six Premier League titles, the Champions League and numerous other trophies during his time in charge.
Former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca now takes over the challenging task of succeeding Guardiola. Having previously worked as his assistant during City’s historic treble-winning campaign, Maresca knows the club well but will be under intense pressure to maintain the standards set by his predecessor.
City’s rebuilding process has already seen several key figures leave in recent years, including Kevin De Bruyne, Ederson, Kyle Walker and Riyad Mahrez.
As the new Premier League campaign gets underway, both Liverpool and Manchester City face major questions.
Can Liverpool remain a force without Salah? Can Maresca keep City at the top without Guardiola?
One thing is certain — two of the Premier League’s biggest clubs are stepping into unfamiliar territory, and their new eras will be among the biggest stories of the season.
