Despite Liverpool’s hard-fought 1-0 victory over Inter Milan on Tuesday night, the headlines continue to be dominated by the future of Mohamed Salah. The forward sparked controversy after Liverpool’s 3-3 draw with Leeds United, publicly criticising the manager Arne Slot and his treatment by the club after a third consecutive exclusion from the starting eleven. As a result, Salah was omitted from the travelling squad for the Reds’ trip to the San Siro.

The Egyptian’s future at Anfield is now shrouded in uncertainty. Consequently, interest in securing Salah’s services is beginning to mount. 

Reports from Sky Sports suggest numerous Saudi Arabian clubs are ready to make a move for the Liverpool star. However, after a series of marquee signings such as ex-Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson and Brazilian superstar Neymar have struggled to adapt to the league for various reasons, these clubs are seeking assurance from Salah himself that he is willing to make the move.

Former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge made assurances of Salah’s commitment to the club, speaking on Amazon Prime – 

“Mo has told me; I love this football club. He doesn’t want to leave, but he wants to play.”

With Salah firm on his stance and the club equally resolute, the situation approaches a critical juncture. One side will need to make the first move, but for now, Liverpool must confront the possibility that club legend Mohamed Salah may soon begin to explore opportunities elsewhere.
