Mohamed Salah Spotted in ‘Private’ London Meeting With Ex-Liverpool Star
Fresh reports have surfaced after Mohamed Salah allegedly held a “secret meeting” in London with a former Liverpool teammate. The Egyptian forward has found himself under scrutiny at Anfield following a fiery interview in which he claimed someone at the club had “thrown him under the bus” and admitted his relationship with Arne Slot had quickly broken down.
Salah, now 33, signed a two-year extension in May during Liverpool’s Premier League title celebrations, partly to quiet rumours of Saudi Pro League interest. But after being dropped for three straight matches—a 2-0 win against West Ham, a 1-1 draw with Sunderland, and the 3-3 thriller at Leeds—speculation about his future has reignited.
Jamie Carragher slammed Salah’s remarks as “a disgrace”, and this weekend’s game at home to Brighton may be his last for Liverpool before he heads off to AFCON in January. According to an exclusive from The Sun, Salah has already begun exploring his options and recently met with someone who could offer insight into life in Saudi Arabia.
Salah’s Secret Meeting With Jordan Henderson
The sensational report claims Salah and former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson—who spent a short spell at Al-Ettifaq and now plays for Brentford—slipped into the upscale Italian restaurant Scalini in London for a private lunch. Witnesses said the pair arrived disguised with COVID-style masks to avoid attention.
“One look and our jaws dropped—it was Mo and Jordan. Straightaway we thought, ‘Salah must be heading to Saudi’,” an eyewitness said. Another added, “Mo looked engrossed. He kept leaning in, asking questions, and listening carefully as Jordan spoke.”
Whether the two were discussing a potential move or simply catching up is anyone’s guess. They enjoyed immense success together, winning both the Premier League and Champions League. Still, the timing has fans and media buzzing, especially since Salah was not included in the squad that beat Inter Milan 1-0 at the San Siro on Tuesday.
What’s Next for Salah?
Several Saudi clubs are among the strongest contenders to move for Salah in January, while European sides like Napoli, Inter, and Roma are also monitoring the situation. Though some believe Salah’s explosive comments were intended to force a transfer or apply pressure on Slot, respected reporter David Ornstein says Liverpool’s position remains largely unchanged.
Club officials point to his contract, which runs until 2027, and insist his time on the bench was always seen as temporary. They believe the relationship with their “Egyptian King” can still be repaired in the coming weeks.
