Salah joined Liverpool from Roma in 2017 and has established himself as a club legend for The Reds who will be missed when he departs at the end of the campaign.
With a tally of 255 goals from 435 appearances, the Egypt international will be tough to replace but after almost a decade with the side it may be the right time to finally depart.
Salah deserves a break
Speaking to Betfair, Shearer believes that Salah has earned the right to enjoy the sun, likely in the Saudi Pro League.
“Salah is one of the greats of Liverpool and one of the greats of the Premier League. I think when you look at the big names who have graced Liverpool; Dalglish, Gerrard, I mean, there's no doubt he's in the top five of Liverpool greats. But still when you consider how many greats have been at that football club, that's some achievement.
“He’s 33 now and unfortunately time catches up with us sometimes, as hard as it is to take, but it does and maybe that's the case with him.
“I think he's probably earned the right to go and have another two or three years playing somewhere in the sunshine where it's not as fierce, not as ferocious and not as quick as it is in the Premier League and wherever he chooses to go, I'm sure he's still got a load more goals in him.
“The Premier League is without doubt the hardest league in the world. It's just relentless and he deserves the right to go and play another two or three years somewhere in the sunshine.”
Salah has twice won the Premier League with Liverpool along with a Champions League crown, FA Cup and two Carabao Cup trophies.
He will now depart as he eyes a move to the Saudi Pro League or MLS, both of which have much more sun.
