Liverpool manager Arne Slot insisted there were no outstanding issues between him and Mohamed Salah after recalling the club great to the team for the 2-0 win over Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday. Salah received a rapturous welcome from Liverpool fans after coming on as a first-half substitute and they chanted his name during and after the game at Anfield — including after he set up Hugo Ekitike for the second goal. In an explosive outburst last weekend, Salah told reporters his relationship with Slot had broken down after being dropped for three straight games and that he felt like “someone doesn’t want me in the club”. “He was then left at home when Liverpool traveled to Inter Milan for a Champions League match on Tuesday, with Slot saying he did not know if Salah would play again for the club.However, a few days later, Salah was back in the squad for the Brighton game after he held conversations with Slot on Friday. “For me there is no issue to resolve.

For the second game running, Liverpool manager Arne Slot left legendary forward Mohamed Salah out of the starting XI, a decision that continues to raise questions about the relationship between the two. The talismanic Egyptian was also omitted from the lineup in Liverpool’s 2-0 loss to West Ham United on Sunday. Previously, Slot had not included Salah against Sunderland, a match the defending Premier League champions drew 1-1. Former England player Jamie Redknapp said he would not compare the Slot-Salah situation to the historic falling-out between Alan Shearer and Ruud Gullit, but he believes “something has to give” regarding what is unfolding at Liverpool. “I wouldn’t compare it to when Alan Shearer was left out by Ruud Gullit all those years ago, which ended up being a massive clash where one had to go, but it does feel like something has to give,” Redknapp told Sky Sports. “There is no way Mohamed Salah is going to be content being a bit-part player in this team. Whether it’s in January or in the summer, if he …

Why Mohammed Salah’s contract extension is important for Liverpool | Football News

The only surprise about Mohammed Salah’s contract is that it took so long for both the club and their talisman to reach an agreement. Nonetheless, it could not have arrived at a better time, as Liverpool are on their last push to grab the league title, wherein Salah had donned the titular role with aplomb. Little doubt that the extension was richly deserved. It has been Salah’s season. Not just his haul of 32 goals and 22 assists in 45 games, but his sheer ability to inspire his team has been valuable for the Reds’ sprint. When Liverpool claimed the title last time, in 2020, he was one part of a magnificent attacking trifecta with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. But this time, it was largely his own attacking verve that has turbocharged his team’s title quest. Rest of the attacking players in the squad were either wasteful or prone to injuries or just flat-lined. It was, more often than not, down to him to inspire. This was Salah’s season of renaissance too. Last year, …

Relentless and modest machine: Salah continues to perform miracles for Liverpool | Football News

When the Saudis reached out to Liverpool for Mohamed Salah earlier this year, many were sure they won’t come back empty-handed. Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad were ready to shell out to the tune of £150m to have the 31-year-old forward on board. This move on the Saudi’s part was inevitable. Besides being a great footballer, the Egyptian had many cultural similarities belonging to a region that’s just two-three hours’ flight away from the kingdom. Needless to say, his being a follower of Islam also helped a little just like Karim Benzema. But Salah was different in that he grew up and learnt his football in North Africa. Benzema, on the other hand, played all his football in France. Basically, Salah would have been a greater catch to inspire Middle Eastern youth than anyone else, including Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo, both past their prime. But Liverpool and Salah rejected the offer.
