Strained Relationship Between Mohamed Salah and Manager Arne Slot
Mohamed Salah’s relationship with Liverpool’s head coach Arne Slot appears to be deteriorating.
The forward has indicated that there is a lack of rapport with Slot, who has sidelined him from the starting lineup in the club’s last three Premier League fixtures.
Salah, who joined Liverpool in 2017, has never experienced this level of exclusion at Anfield before.
Typically a guaranteed starter, his status has changed under Slot, much to the dissatisfaction of the Egyptian international.
With only four goals in the Premier League this season—below his usual standards—Salah has faced difficulties contributing to the team, mirroring struggles of many of his teammates.
Is Mohamed Salah Leaving Liverpool?
As tensions between Salah and Slot escalate, speculation about the player’s future is intensifying, with rumors linking him to a move to the Saudi Pro League.
Stefan Borson, a former advisor at Manchester City, weighed in on Salah’s situation and the possibility of a transfer to the Middle East.
“We’ve discussed the situations of older players before,” Borson commented to Football Insider.
“The decline can happen suddenly, transitioning from being in form to not performing at the Premier League level. It seems this might be occurring with Salah.”
“He has shown remarkable consistency over the years, so it raises questions about his age and other factors.”
“Saudi Arabia has the means to resolve Liverpool’s predicament. They are likely to offer a substantial fee, along with covering his salary commitments for the next two years, which is quite significant.”
Long-Term Saudi Interest in Salah
Salah’s long-term future at Liverpool remains uncertain. Earlier this year, he signed a new contract following impressive performances for the club.
The swift downturn in his form and the club’s position is unexpected.
With increasing frustrations at Liverpool, the Saudi Pro League’s interest in Salah may reignite, creating potential opportunities for a transfer.
If this ultimately marks the end of Salah’s chapter at Liverpool, it is a disappointing conclusion. A player who has significantly contributed to the club’s success and has been its standout performer in recent history may be exiting on a low note.
