Tension has been growing around Mohamed Salah since his fraught public fall‑out with manager Arne Slot. It all began after Liverpool’s frustrating goalless draw with Leeds United. Salah complained that the blame for Liverpool’s slump had been unfairly placed on his shoulders. He firmly stated that his relationship with Slot was “far from good.”
One indicator of the strain: for Liverpool’s 1–0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League, the 33‑year‑old forward was conspicuously omitted from the match squad — a rare move that sent shockwaves across football circles. With such a public rift, overseas suitors have sensed opportunity. Officials from the Saudi Pro League have now confirmed that several clubs are seriously entertaining the idea of signing Salah — a major coup if it comes to pass.
At the heart of the issue: a player once considered untouchable at Liverpool now seems vulnerable. Feeling undervalued and publicly criticised, Salah appears to be re-evaluating his future. The timing of this domestic discord, coming so soon after his exclusion from a pivotal European match, has intensified speculation that Saudi clubs could offer not just a financial reward, but also a fresh start and renewed respect.
With Mughrabel’s public endorsement of Salah as a target, the window for Liverpool to act quickly — either to patch things up or risk losing a club legend — is narrowing.
