Liverpool’s Arne Slot is scheduled to meet Mohamed Salah for a make-or-break discussion.

 

 

Tension inside Liverpool has reached a breaking point as Arne Slot is set to meet Mohamed Salah in an urgent face-to-face showdown today, according to a reliable X source. The crisis talks follow a growing rift between the Dutch manager and the Egyptian star, fuelled by Salah’s public outburst and several contentious decisions made by the club’s hierarchy.

 

Sporting director Richard Hughes is also expected to attend what has been described internally as a “make-or-break” meeting that could define Salah’s immediate future at Anfield. The outcome will determine whether the 33-year-old is restored to the squad for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Brighton — a match that may prove pivotal for both Salah and Slot.

 

Salah was omitted from the travelling squad for Liverpool’s Champions League trip to Inter Milan, a game the Reds won 1-0 courtesy of a late Dominik Szoboszlai penalty. His exclusion came shortly after he publicly criticised the club and accused Slot of “throwing him under the bus” following repeated substitute appearances.

 

While Slot is frustrated with Salah’s recent behaviour, he has not ruled out mending the relationship — but only if the forward shows genuine contrition. The Liverpool boss has reportedly set clear conditions for Salah’s return, insisting that either a private or public apology will be required before he rejoins the first-team group.

 

Liverpool’s leadership is eager to calm the situation ahead of a crucial stretch of matches that could shape the trajectory of their season.

 

Saturday’s home tie with Brighton carries even greater weight, not only because Salah’s involvement is in doubt, but because it may signal a turning point in an already turbulent campaign. Slot’s strained relationship with both the squad and supporters has come under increasing scrutiny, with many questioning his handling of one of the club’s all-time greats.
