Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s forward, is facing potential transfer speculation after recent months of uncertainty surrounding his future.
Having experienced limited playing time lately, Salah revealed in a candid interview that his relationship with manager Arne Slot is strained.
Liverpool’s Decision on Salah
Currently, Salah’s future remains uncertain, and it has been reported by Football Insider that the club may consider selling him in January, contingent on their performance in upcoming matches.
Salah is also expected to represent Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations shortly.
Simultaneously, Al Hilal, a club from Saudi Arabia, has expressed interest in acquiring him. If a deal comes to fruition, it could result in a significant financial gain for both Salah and Liverpool. Should he choose to join, he may receive a lucrative contract.

Salah’s Current Form
It is clear that Salah is not currently performing at his peak, yet he remains one of the top players globally and a crucial figure for Liverpool. Selling him in January could be a risky move, particularly given the team’s recent struggles.
Liverpool is experiencing a challenging period, and they will need their star players to deliver exceptional performances.
It remains to be seen whether Slot and Salah can resolve their conflicts in the near future. Ideally, Liverpool should aim to retain Salah until the end of the season before considering any transfer.
Nonetheless, with the ongoing tension between the player and manager, Liverpool finds itself under significant pressure. It raises the question of whether the club will take the decisive step of letting Salah go.
Add to that rumors of Slot potentially facing dismissal. Despite receiving considerable investment during the summer transfer window, he has struggled to optimize the new signings, resulting in underwhelming team performances.
It wouldn’t be surprising if management decides to part ways with the coach in the coming weeks or months.
