Overview
- Salah publicly criticised Arne Slot after three straight league benchings and was then left out of Liverpool’s Champions League trip to Inter Milan.
- Omar Mugharbel, the Saudi Pro League chief executive, said Salah is a target for clubs in the kingdom, while multiple reports say several teams are preparing January bids with no formal contact yet reported.
- Senior Liverpool voices struck a united tone after the Inter win, with Andy Robertson, Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones stressing dressing-room togetherness, and Daniel Sturridge saying Salah told him he loves the club but wants to play.
- Salah remains under contract until June 2027, and reporting describes his Inter omission as a short-term response as Liverpool evaluate options without confirming any plan to sell.
- With Brighton up next before Salah departs for the Africa Cup of Nations, media link Liverpool to potential replacements such as Antoine Semenyo on a reported release clause, though any move remains unconfirmed.
