Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool has quickly become one of the hottest news stories ahead of the January transfer window.
Arne Slot’s decision to leave the Egyptian star on the bench for two consecutive league matches has sparked debate, and Salah’s recent comments have added even more drama to the situation.
Salah was overlooked
Against Leeds United, Salah was completely left out and his post-match remarks revealed frustration despite his professionalism. There was no fallout in the locker room, but his discontent is now out in the open. The Liverpool board are expected to meet Salah’s agent soon, a discussion which could prove decisive for his future at Anfield.
On the transfer front, Saudi Arabia is attracting the greatest interest. Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal lead the chase, with the Saudi Pro League considering Salah as a strategic signing. Sources close to the matter informed Caught Offside that they could present offers worth 80 to 100 million euros, including bonuses and a resale clause. MLS clubs are also interested in signing him, but financially they are struggling to match the offers Saudi teams can field.
What future for Mohamed Salah?
Liverpool now face two clear options: reinstate Salah into Slot’s system and keep him for the rest of the season, or take advantage of a blockbuster January bid and move quickly for a replacement. With public frustration with Salah and the efforts of Saudi clubs, the chances of a winter exit have increased significantly.
The player admitted he no longer had a relationship with manager Arne Slot and he felt forced to leave the club. The Egyptian has been a loyal servant of Liverpool over the years and has helped them win every trophy at club level. The player clearly expected better treatment from the manager and the club, and that remains to be seen. If all parties can resolve the situation quickly.
