Arne Slot is preparing for crucial talks with Mohamed Salah as uncertainty grows around the Liverpool star’s future.
The tension between player and manager escalated after Salah accused the club of throwing him ‘under the bus’ following the dramatic 3–3 draw with Leeds United. His comments were followed by his omission from the squad that faced Inter Milan in the Champions League earlier this week.
Salah’s frustration stems from being benched for three consecutive Premier League matches as Slot attempts to reshape a side struggling for consistency.
Liverpool’s narrow 1–0 win over Inter may have eased some pressure, but the situation surrounding their most iconic forward remains unresolved.
According to reports from The Mirror, Slot is set to meet Salah amid growing interest from abroad.
Several Saudi Pro League clubs—AlHilal, AlQadisah and Neom—are preparing bids, while MLS sides San Diego and Chicago Fire are also monitoring developments closely.
With five days gone since Salah’s explosive interview, neither the player nor the club has offered further clarity, and his absence from the Champions League squad has only intensified speculation.
Asked whether Salah had already played his final game for Liverpool, Slot admitted he had ‘no clue’ and could not give any assurances.
Earlier in the week, the manager hinted that any reconciliation should begin with the player, suggesting Salah may need to take responsibility for his comments before the situation can move forward. As fans wait for answers, the standoff between Liverpool’s manager and their biggest star continues to dominate the headlines.
