Fresh update emerges on discussions between Liverpool and Mohamed Salah
The situation has now erupted into a tense internal power struggle, with Liverpool’s hierarchy racing to stop it from turning into a damaging transfer saga.
According to a reliable source on X, the club’s leadership has entered full damage-control mode, alarmed that Mohamed Salah’s ongoing absence from the squad could significantly reduce the value of one of their biggest assets.
At 33, the Egyptian icon remains among the most marketable stars in world football. However, a growing rift with Arne Slot — fuelled by repeated benchings and Salah’s public frustration — has sent shockwaves through Anfield and beyond.
Liverpool are approaching a pivotal four-week period that could shape their immediate future. Behind the scenes, senior executives are locked in intense talks aimed at defusing the standoff between Salah and the new head coach. Board members reportedly see the situation as “financially high-risk” and are desperate to reintegrate the forward before his market value takes a serious hit, especially with fresh interest expected from Saudi Pro League and MLS clubs in January.
Despite the rising concern at board level, Slot has refused to back down. The Dutch coach has reportedly made it clear to Salah that a starting place is no longer automatic, stressing that selection will be determined by performance and tactical suitability rather than status or reputation.
Slot is believed to have the full support of sporting director Richard Hughes, who is pushing for discipline and collective unity, even if that requires difficult conversations with senior players. Still, this firm stance has heightened tensions, with Salah’s representatives seeking clear assurances about his role going forward.
Over the next month, Liverpool will hold a series of high-level discussions involving Salah’s camp, Slot, and senior club figures. Internally, these talks are being labelled a “peace summit,” as all sides look for a solution that protects both sporting ambitions and financial stability.
Should no compromise be reached, sources indicate the board may have no choice but to consider offers when the January transfer window opens.
