Arne Slot Reveals New Insight on Mo Salah’s Liverpool Future After Private Talks

 

 

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has given a significant update on Mohamed Salah’s future following the winger’s explosive recent interview.

Speaking on Friday ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Brighton, Slot addressed Salah’s comments after the 3-3 draw with Leeds, where the Egyptian hinted the match could be his final outing for the club. Salah had claimed he was “thrown under the bus” for Liverpool’s poor season, suggested his relationship with Slot had broken down, and implied someone within the club no longer wanted him — despite signing a new two-year contract last April.

The 33-year-old has been dropped for games against West Ham, Sunderland, and Leeds, and was left out completely for the Champions League win over Inter. With the Africa Cup of Nations starting December 21, fans are now questioning whether they’ll see him in a Liverpool shirt again.

Slot said in his press conference that he would meet Salah on Friday morning, stressing that the outcome of that conversation would determine the next steps. He insisted he would only discuss Salah publicly after speaking with him directly, noting that there had already been multiple talks between both parties’ representatives.

When asked if he personally made the decision to exclude Salah from the Inter squad, Slot said it was a collective call made by the club, though he was still involved. He added that he had “no reason not to want Salah to stay” despite their recent issues.
