Mohamed Salah to be dropped for four consecutive matches after bombshell interview

Liverpool began the 2025/26 season strongly with five consecutive wins, sitting top of the table. Since then, they have suffered loss after loss and now sit 9th with 23 points. The dip in form has affected many players - from defenders to attackers - but Mohamed Salah has been impacted the most.

The Premier League’s 2024/25 Player of the Season has scored only four goals and provided two assists so far, and has been benched for three straight matches. After the 3-3 draw against Leeds United, Salah finally “exploded.” The 33-year-old forward gave an interview expressing his disappointment with the club and manager Arne Slot for leaving him on the bench.

Rumors claim that Liverpool’s key decision-makers - John Henry, Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes - held an emergency meeting to address the crisis. Reports indicate that the board continues to support Arne Slot and will allow him to coach the team for the remainder of the season.

Salah’s future was also discussed, and the board reportedly wants him to apologize. However, following the interview, the relationship between him and Arne Slot has reportedly broken down, leaving his role at the club in serious doubt. There is a strong possibility he will not travel with the team to face Inter Milan on Wednesday. Today, Salah arrived at the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby but went home before the team’s scheduled flight to London tonight.

With 19 months remaining on his contract, Liverpool must find a solution soon. The Egyptian captain remains the club’s highest earner at £400,000 per week. Some sources report that Saudi clubs are ready to make an offer - potentially worth up to £150 million, similar to Al-Hilal’s bid last summer.

After facing Inter Milan, Liverpool will play Brighton on Saturday, after which Salah will join Egypt’s national team to prepare for AFCON 2025. What happens next remains uncertain, but Salah has already hinted that he may have played his last game for Liverpool, saying he is “not sure what will happen next.”
