Mohamed Salah suspects someone at Liverpool is pushing for his exit
Mohamed Salah has raised alarms regarding his future at Liverpool, hinting that his upcoming match against Brighton might be his farewell. Following a frustrating 3-3 draw against Leeds, Salah expressed his discontent, claiming he felt betrayed by the club’s decision to bench him for three consecutive matches.
Salah’s Concern Over Club Dynamics
In a candid interview, Salah stated, “The club has thrown me under the bus,” voicing his frustration with what he perceives as a breakdown in his relationship with manager Arne Slot. He believes that an internal agenda is at play, suggesting, “It seems like someone doesn’t want me in the club.”
Bench Drama and Promises Unkept
- Salah noted his disbelief at being benched three times in a row, something unprecedented in his career.
- He expressed disappointment at the club’s failure to fulfill promises made during the summer.
- The 33-year-old lamented, “I have done so much for this club. Now I’m sitting on the bench and I don’t know why.”
Implications of Upcoming Matches
As Salah prepares for the Africa Cup of Nations, which begins on December 15, the Brighton match scheduled for next Saturday has become particularly significant. Salah expressed uncertainty about his playing time but insists he plans to savor his experience at Anfield, stating, “I don’t know what is going to happen now.”
In response to whether the Brighton match might be his last in a Liverpool jersey, he remarked, “In football, you never know.” His future remains a topic of speculation, especially with rumors linking him to a potential move to the Saudi Pro League in January.
Final Thoughts Before AFCON
Salah underscored his deep connection to Liverpool, noting, “This club, I always support it.” As he prepares for a possibly emotional send-off, he hopes to reassure his family and fans, emphasizing, “I will be in Anfield to say goodbye to the fans.”
The situation remains tense as both Salah and the club navigate his future during this pivotal moment in the season.
