In the last few hours, news has not stopped coming from Liverpool and that is that after that draw against Leeds United, after which Mohamed Salah started the war against Arne Slot, now the ‘red’ entity, as reported by ‘RMC’, has decided to sanction him and not call him up for the Champions League match against Inter Milan during the week.
The Egyptian’s words have cost him dearly and Liverpool understand that he cannot point out the coach in the way he did. Salah commented that in the past he had earned the right to be the undisputed starter for all his benefits and also added that overnight he had lost all relations with the Dutch coach.
For his part, Slot in a press conference has insisted on repeating that whether from the bench or starting, he needs the best from Salah, but the sentence has come when a captain like Virgil van Dijk has confessed that each player needs to perform to be able to be a starter, not living on past merits. There seems to be no turning back in the Salah case and several teams rub their hands.
Destination Arabia
The Saudi Pro League, which already tried to sign him on previous occasions, has returned to the fray and specifically Al Hilal intends to present an offer when it returns from the Africa Cup so that he does not play another minute with Liverpool. In that sense, next weekend’s Premier League clash against Brighton could be his farewell to Anfield, although given what has been seen, it is not ruled out that this step is omitted and left through the back door.
has lost the battle
Mohamed chose to throw an order at the coach in this crisis situation and the Pool bosses have made their position more than clear: they believe in Slot and if anyone is going to move in this winter market it is Salah. Now all that remains is to decide for what amount they are going to allow him to leave, because the other alternative that could be given is that he spent half a year on the bench with a World Cup ahead of him.
Mohamed Salah, 33 years old, played 52 games for Liverpool last season in all competitions, exceeding 4,400 minutes of play, in which he scored 34 goals and distributed 23 assists.
