Today’s reports suggest that the relationship between Salah and head coach Arne Slot has reached a critical point, with the forward feeling deeply frustrated about his recent treatment. ..Continue Reading
He has reportedly expressed anger at being left out of several matches and believes he has been unfairly singled out during a difficult spell.
Salah was present at training this week, but his absence from the squad that travelled for the club’s latest Champions League fixture has only intensified speculation.
When asked about the situation, Slot admitted he has no idea whether Salah will play for the club again. Such an admission has sent shockwaves through supporters who are now preparing themselves for a possible departure either in the upcoming transfer window or at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, clubs abroad are already circling, particularly those in Saudi Arabia, who are believed to be preparing substantial offers should Salah officially become available.
With the situation escalating quickly, Liverpool appear to be working behind the scenes to safeguard themselves if the Egyptian star decides to quit.
Today’s reports indicate that Liverpool have already started putting contingency plans in place. The club is said to be confident they can manage the transition and have identified players who could step in immediately or form part of a long-term rebuild.
One of the most frequently mentioned names is Antoine Semenyo. The Bournemouth forward has caught attention with his explosive pace, work rate, and improving end product.
He fits the profile of a forward capable of operating in a high-intensity system and is viewed as a realistic target who could adapt quickly.
Michael Olise is another player discussed internally. His technical ability, creativity, and comfort cutting in from the right make him stylistically similar to Salah.
While he is considered more of a long-term project than a plug-and-play replacement, Liverpool see him as someone who could grow into a starring role.
Liverpool are also assessing the possibility of leaning on existing squad members if needed. Some within the club believe certain forwards could fill the role temporarily while a bigger long-term move is lined up.
What is becoming increasingly clear is that Liverpool are preparing for the possibility that Salah’s time at Anfield is coming to an end.
Losing a player of his stature would mark the close of a remarkable era, but the club appear determined to ensure stability rather than panic.
Whether Salah leaves in the upcoming window or waits until the summer, Liverpool’s search for the next right-sided star is already well underway.
