Mohamed Salah stirred controversy following Liverpool’s recent draw against Leeds United. The star of Liverpool remained on the bench throughout the match and later gave an explosive interview that has caused a significant uproar in the UK. Salah directed criticism at both the club and manager Arne Slot, suggesting that someone at Anfield is pushing for his departure.
While some fans continue to support Salah, recognising him as a long-time leader of the team, others have expressed frustration with the way he publicly voiced his dissatisfaction. Liverpool now faces a challenging decision, though no official verdict has been made yet.
The club is considering taking disciplinary action, which could lead to Salah being excluded from the squad for the upcoming clash with Inter Milan. If this happens, he will not travel with the team to Italy for the match on Tuesday.
Salah’s future with Liverpool hangs in the balance. His recent statements have only fueled rumours of a possible exit, which might even occur as early as January. Amidst the growing uncertainty at Anfield, Saudi clubs are reportedly eyeing the situation eagerly, hoping for a high-profile transfer.
🚨 Liverpool are facing a big decision on Monday morning over whether Mohamed Salah travels with the team to Italy to face Inter Milan at the San Siro.

It’s no secret that Salah has struggled to replicate his past form this season, leading Slot to bench him on multiple occasions. Recently, he has even missed opportunities to come onto the pitch. Salah believes he has been unfairly held accountable for Liverpool’s underwhelming performances and strongly disagrees with that notion.
