Mohamed Salah's circumstances at Liverpool suddenly shifted after an unexpected event following the victory over Tottenham.
The future of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool seems decided as the club prepares to enter the January transfer window. Liverpool became the center of attention in the football world after Salah gave a fiery interview following the 3-3 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road — marking the third consecutive match the Egyptian forward was left out of the starting lineup.
In that controversial interview, Salah claimed Liverpool had “sacrificed him” and that he “has no relationship” with coach Arne Slot, casting serious doubts over his future at Anfield.
Although Salah played in the match against Brighton last week, his future at Liverpool remains uncertain, especially after he left with the Egyptian national team for AFCON.
According to sources from Football Insider, Liverpool is expected to keep Mohamed Salah at least until the end of the season. Previously, Salah was linked with a possible departure from Anfield in January, but now this seems unlikely as Liverpool has no plans to let him go in the upcoming transfer window, particularly following Isak's injury in the Tottenham match.
Following the fallout from the Elland Road interview, Salah leaving Liverpool amid tension clearly wouldn't be a fitting ending. As a club legend and the third highest scorer in Liverpool's history, the prospect of him departing amid controversy is hard for fans at Anfield to accept.
If Salah chooses to give his all for Liverpool in the second half of the season, he could leave with his reputation intact, possibly even a grand farewell at Merseyside. Conversely, failure to do so would lead to a sad conclusion and could damage his image as a Liverpool icon.
The general feeling now is that Salah's final days in Liverpool colors are approaching, and for him personally, the most important goal is to depart smoothly — something difficult to achieve if he leaves the club in January.
