Liverpool’s Stance on Mo Salah’s Future Emerges as Club Interested in Him Named
Mohamed Salah delivered one of the most sensational interviews of the season so far following Liverpool’s Premier League match against Leeds United.
The Egyptian was an unused substitute as the match ended in a 3-3 draw. It was the third consecutive match that the 33-year-old had been named on the bench.
After the match, Salah made his frustrations with his current role clear, while he also talked about his fractured relationship with Arne Slot.
He said: “I can’t believe … I’m sitting on the bench for 90 minutes.
“The third time on the bench, I think for the first time in my career. I’m very, very disappointed. I have done so much for this club down the years and especially last season. Now I’m sitting on the bench and I don’t know why.
“It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That is how I am feeling. I think it is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame.
“I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager and all of a sudden, we don’t have any relationship. I don’t know why, but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn’t want me in the club.”
Liverpool’s Stance on Mo Salah’s Future
Salah has been an incredible servant to the Reds. He’s played 420 times for the club since joining in 2017, scoring 250 times. His brilliance was integral to the club winning multiple trophies, including the Champions League and two Premier League titles.
Liverpool tried desperately to get Salah to put pen-to-paper on a new deal earlier this year, which he did in April as he signed a deal until 2027.
However, Liverpool’s stance on the Egyptian’s future has now changed following the start to the season. According to the BBC, Liverpool are now ‘open-minded’ about his future, suggesting that they will be open to offers for him in the upcoming January transfer window.
Club Interested in Signing Salah Named
The biggest clubs in world football will no doubt be interested in signing Salah, should he be available for transfer this summer.
Salah was heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia before signing a new deal last season. Rumours of a move to Saudi are now intensifying again amid his current situation in England.
The BBC have reported that the Saudi Pro League ‘has for a long time held ambitions to add Salah to a roster of global superstars that includes the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane.’
Simeone Inzaghi’s Al-Hilal, who have won the Saudi Pro League on 19 occasions, have been named as one of the clubs interested in his signature. A move to Al-Hilal will see him reunite with Darwin Nunez, while the likes of Rúben Neves, Theo Hernandez, Kalidou Koulibaly and Joao Cancelo also play for the club.
