Mohamed Salah has at least 10 games left before he signs off his magnificent Liverpool career.
But as the the club's statement made clear after his bombshell announcement that he would be leaving at the end of the season, the Egyptian King has unfinished business to attend to.
There is no getting away from the fact that the campaign so far has been disappointing for both Salah and Liverpool. No-one could have envisaged that at this stage of the Premier League season, the defending champions would be 21 points off the top.
This was not the way the 33-year-old would have wanted to go out. Not with his legacy.
Since his £34.3m move from Roma in June 2017, no player in the Premier League has more goal contributions than Salah (281: 189 goals, 92 assists).
That goal return makes the Egypt captain the Reds' fifth all-time leading league scorer behind Billy Liddell (215), Ian Rush (229), Gordon Hodgson (233) and Roger Hunt (244).
However, his exploits in cup competitions means his overall tally of 255 goals in 435 games is bettered only by Hunt (285 in 492) and his great friend, Rush (346 in 660).
When Salah signed his new two-year contract last April, there felt every possibly that he would overhaul Hunt and climb into second in the all-time standings.
Currently thirty goals behind the 1966 World Cup winner after, by his own ludicrously high standards, netting just 10 times in 34 matches this season, that will not happen now.
However, history suggests that Salah could go on a glorious scoring streak before he waves goodbye to Merseyside once and for all.
Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the season and Fanatics has cut the price of this season's kits with 'M. Salah 11' printing.
Liverpool head to the Etihad on Saturday, April 4 for a huge FA Cup tie with Manchester City, which their talisman will be hoping to be fit for after he missed the 2-1 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday with a muscle injury.
Arne Slot will certainly hope Salah is back given he has scored 13 times against City - the third most he has struck against any one club for the Reds.
While he has never found the net against Paris Saint-Germain, who Liverpool face in a massive Champions League two-legged quarter-final at the start of next month, Salah will be facing some of his favourites teams in his final seven Premier League games.
Salah has scored four goals against Fulham (joint 11th on his most prolific list), eight against Everton (joint 8th), nine against Crystal Palace (joint 7th), a staggering 16 against Manchester United (1st), five against his former club Chelsea (joint 10th), 10 against Aston Villa (joint 6th) and seven against Brentford (joint 9th).
Knowing Salah, there is no way he will want to leave on a whimper. And knowing Salah, the outpouring of love that has been shown to him from supporters since announcing his departure will only serve to galvanise him for his final two months as a Red.
Liverpool's opponents, beware. But then again, they probably already know that.
