Liverpool manager Arne Slot has hinted that Mohamed Salah's time at Anfield may be coming to an end, sparking concerns over the Egyptian forward's future with the club.
Slot admitted he had "no clue" whether Salah would play for Liverpool again, casting further doubt on the forward's long-term prospects. The Dutch coach denied claims of a breakdown in his relationship with Salah, who recently made incendiary comments about their partnership in an interview at Leeds, claiming that someone at the club had thrown him under a bus.
Slot insisted he remained calm and polite, but stressed that this didn't mean he was weak. "Usually I'm calm, I'm polite," he said. "But that doesn't mean I'm weak so if a player has these comments about so many things then it's up to me and the club to react."
The move comes as Liverpool face a tough run of fixtures without their star forward. Slot left Salah out of the Champions League game against Inter, citing a desire to give him time off, but this decision was taken in conjunction with the club's hierarchy.
Salah could also miss the home game against Brighton on Saturday and is due to report for Africa Cup of Nations duty with Egypt next week. The player has 18 months remaining on his contract at Anfield until summer 2027, but it remains to be seen whether he will have a change of heart.
Club captain Alisson Beletari hopes that Salah will play again for Liverpool in the future, saying "I don't think anything but I hope he plays again for the club." The Brazilian goalkeeper also expressed support for Slot and urged fans not to lose faith in the team's prospects.

like what is happening with mohamed salah?? one day he's our superstar striker and the next he's making these crazy comments about arne slot?? i don't get it!!! 
i feel bad for arne though, he seems such a cool guy and i love him as the manager of liverpool 
but yeah, salah needs to chill out!!! 
i mean, we still have 18 months on his contract and i'm sure we'll figure it out 
alisson saying that salah will play again for us in the future makes me feel a bit better tho 
please let's just keep our fingers crossed that everything works out 
theres a lot of tension going on rn but im hopin its all jus drama lol alisson sayz he hopes salah will play again 4 the club which is super cool 
hopefully lfc can get through this tough run w/o him 
Salah's time at liverpool might be coming to an end?? i get that slot is trying to manage the situation but this is a huge blow to the team, especially with all the tough games comin up. and what's goin on between slot & salah? it sounds like there's some major drama 
but if not, alisson beletari is right, we shouldn't lose faith in the team... they got this 
Is 18 months really enough time to sort out whatever issues there are between them? I'm getting anxious just thinking about it 
. It's like we're watching a story unfold on screen and not sure what's gonna happen next 
. And you know, I think Arne Slot's response is pretty telling - he's staying calm and polite, but you can sense the frustration behind it 
. It's like he's trying to keep it together for everyone's sake, but inside, he's probably feeling just as anxious as we are 
.
meanwhile, beletari is the real hero here saying somethin positive about slot and not losin faith in the team... good for him 
. It seems like there are some major doubts about his future with the club, and I think it's essential that we consider the reasons behind these concerns. Slot's admission that he had "no clue" whether Salah would play for Liverpool again raises several questions about their relationship and management style. Meanwhile, Salah's recent comments were quite scathing, implying that someone at the club had turned on him 
. It'll be interesting to see how the team responds to this uncertainty and whether they can find a way to get back on track 
.
. This whole situation with Arne Slot just doesn't feel right, ya know? I mean, Salah made some pretty serious comments about their partnership and now Slot is saying they might not play together again... it's like, what's going on?! 
And honestly, I'm kinda worried about our team without him right now. We've got some tough games coming up and his goals are what usually make us look good. 
does anyone really believe that? 
and whats with the africa cup of nations thingy? can someone explain me why thats a big deal again? 
alisson's words are really encouraging tho, fingers crossed salah comes back stronger or the team finds another superstar player 
️ anyway, this is getting intense... what if slot is indeed leaving Salah behind? 
. Like, what even is going on with Salah and his team? One minute he's saying crazy stuff about his relationship with Arne Slot, next he's missing games and now there are rumors that he might leave the club altogether 
. Also, what happened with the Champions League game? Why did Slot choose to bench Salah when he could've just started him and gotten this drama over with 
. Anyway, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that Salah will come around and give us more of his magic on the pitch 
.
. Like, what even happened between him and Arne Slot? I mean, I know they had some beef after Mo's crazy interview at Leeds but I never thought it would come to this 
. I know Slot said he's calm but let's be real, this doesn't feel right at all 
Can we even trust the club's hierarchy on this one? Alisson seems cool though, hope his positivity rubs off on us all 
. and alisson's right, we shouldn't write off salah just yet... 18 months is still a long time, and who knows what happens between now and summer '27? 
. This Salah saga has been a microcosm of the bigger issues within Liverpool FC - talent management, player relations, and long-term strategy. Slot's admission that he doesn't know if Salah will play for the Reds again raises questions about the club's ability to retain its star players in today's high-stakes football landscape.
. I mean, who makes a comment like that about being thrown under a bus? It sounds like Salah is trying to stir up drama and distract us from the real issue: his performance lately 
. It's like the club's trying to make us worry on purpose 
. Alisson Beletari seems like a cool head, but how much faith can we put in that if Salah's time at Liverpool might be done?
