Liverpool Committed to Keeping Mohamed Salah Despite Speculation
Liverpool is determined to retain Mohamed Salah at Anfield until the conclusion of his contract, amid increasing rumors about his future and his unexpected exclusion from the Champions League lineup against Inter Milan on Tuesday night.
Manager Arne Slot, along with the Liverpool board, made the decision to exclude Salah from the traveling squad due to ongoing friction between the player and the coaching staff.
The 33-year-old forward, who has been a key figure for Liverpool for nearly ten years, has recently found himself on the outskirts of the team during one of the club’s most challenging periods in recent times.
Liverpool Has No Plans to Part Ways with Mohamed Salah
According to reports from The Athletic, Liverpool has no plans to sell Salah at this time and intends for him to fulfill his contract, which runs until 2027.
Despite the off-field challenges, Liverpool’s position remains resolute. Fenway Sports Group (FSG) has no intentions of transferring Salah in January and is committed to having him complete his current contract.
The club’s management considers Salah vital to sustaining Liverpool’s global reputation and commercial success, even though his role on the pitch has become increasingly complex under Slot’s leadership.
Salah’s exclusion from the squad follows a series of public disagreements with Slot, highlighted by a heated post-match interview after a 3-3 tie with Leeds United, in which he claimed certain individuals at the club had “thrown him under the bus.”
Liverpool’s Management Supports Both Slot and Salah
Nevertheless, sources indicate that the Liverpool hierarchy stands firmly behind Slot while also striving to manage the situation regarding Salah diplomatically to prevent further disruption within the team.
The ongoing stalemate has sparked renewed interest from the Saudi Pro League, particularly from Al-Hilal, who are keen on acquiring the Egyptian forward.
How this situation will unfold remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: Liverpool is not prepared to allow one of their most significant players depart quietly.
