Concerns Rise Over Salah’s Relationship with Klopp
Mohamed Salah seems to be experiencing friction with manager Arne Slot at Liverpool.
The forward has openly expressed that his relationship with the manager is nonexistent, as Slot has left Salah out of the starting lineup for the past three matches in the Premier League.
Since his arrival at Liverpool in 2017, Salah has never encountered such treatment at Anfield.
Typically a key player, his position on the team has changed under Slot, which has understandably left the Egyptian unsettled.
This season, Salah has managed to score only four goals in the Premier League, a disappointing tally by his usual standards, which mirrors the struggles faced by many of his teammates.
Could Salah Leave Liverpool?
The ongoing rift between Salah and Slot has led to increasing speculation about the player’s future, including potential interest from the Saudi Pro League.
Stefan Borson, a former financial adviser at Manchester City, discussed the possibility of Salah moving to the Middle East.
“We’ve talked about this before with some of the older players,” Borson noted. “The decline can happen quickly, going from in-form to not quite keeping up with the Premier League standard. This might be happening with Salah.”
“He has maintained a high level of consistency for years. It’s unusual to see him struggle like this, which raises questions about whether age is catching up with him,” he added.
“The Saudi Pro League could potentially solve Liverpool’s dilemma. They would likely offer a substantial transfer fee and assume his wage commitments for the next two years, which would be significant.”
Saudi Pro League’s Interest in Salah
Salah’s long-term future at Liverpool remains uncertain. Earlier this year, he signed a new contract following a series of impressive performances.
The sudden shift in his form and his relationship with the club has been both rapid and unexpected.
With growing tensions at Liverpool, the Saudi Pro League has shown lasting interest in the Premier League standout, which could lead them to pursue him once again.
If this marks the end of Salah’s tenure at Liverpool, it would be a disappointing conclusion for a player who has significantly contributed to the club and has been a standout performer in the modern era.
