Liverpool are in a tough situation this season. The Premier League champions will be hoping to turn their season around.
After an impressive start to their season, they have lost nine of their last 15 games in all competitions. In the Premier League, they are in 10th place.
Things went out of their hands in the last game when they had to settle for a point against Leeds United. And, a post-match rant became the talk of the town.
Now, Liverpool find themselves navigating an internal storm as Mohamed Salah’s explosive post-match comments continue to dominate discussion around Anfield.
The 33-year-old publicly criticised manager Arne Slot after the 3-3 draw with Leeds, claiming he has “no relationship” with the Dutchman and accusing him of throwing him “under the bus.”
The outburst has only intensified speculation that Salah could push for a January exit.
The timing of his remarks is striking, given that Salah signed a lucrative new two-year deal just eight months ago after rejecting interest from Saudi Arabia.
His new terms place him among the highest earners in world football at £400,000 per week. This is a figure that has already translated into enormous earnings.
Since signing the contract, Salah has banked £14 million across 26 appearances in all competitions.
That equates to £586,319 per match, £6,514 per minute, and an astonishing £108.57 per second on the pitch.
His return of seven goals during that period means Liverpool have effectively paid £2 million per goal.
The winger’s form, by his elite standards, has dipped, and his public frustration has raised doubts about his long-term future under Slot.
Some within the club now fear the situation may become untenable, particularly with the African Cup of Nations approaching.
Salah could even depart earlier than the December 15 date Slot initially confirmed.
With tensions high and performances under scrutiny, Liverpool face a defining moment in their relationship with one of the greatest players in their modern history.
🚨 OFFICIAL: Mo Salah signs new deal at Liverpool until June 2027, agreement sealed and confirmed.
He’s staying at the club despite important proposals on the table from Saudi.
