A civil war within Liverpool, similar to that of Ronaldo vs Ten Hag. If reports are true Salah is set to be left out of Liverpool’s travelling squad to Milan for a crucial game on the 9th December.
However, this situation is far more complicated than the Ronaldo situation. With Liverpool’s third highest goal scorer signing a lucrative contract in the summer, running until 2027,
This in combination with the reigning champions struggling down in 9th place this season, following a 6 goal draw with relegation threatened Leeds United. In which the Egyptian remained on the bench despite the Reds struggling.
This led to a remarkable interview with the forward, in which he accused to club hierarchy of ‘throwing him under the bus’
He also refused to rule out the possibility of the upcoming game this weekend against Brighton of being his last game for the reds saying ‘he does not accept the situation and he has done so much for the club’
This combined with the growing pressure on Arne Slot, leaves the club in an impossible decision. Do they sack the man who won the premier league so comfortably only last season. Or they do they let a premier league legend leave to Saudi Arabia.
A growing number of Liverpool fans want to manager to be sacked after a poor title defense in which they are realistically not going to retain their title.
This situation is definitely one to keep an eye on, especially with AFCON about to start meaning the forward will be unavailable for at the most 29th with the tournament starting on the 21st of December potentially running to January 18th.
No matter what happens questions have to be raised with the sporting director of Liverpool with both Salah and Van Dijk both not reaching the same heights of last season after getting their lucrative contracts in the summer.
