"It will go down as one of the most explosive interviews in the Premier League era. Liverpool's Mohamed Salah stunned most people on Saturday evening when he claimed his relationship with manager Arne Slot had "broken down". The Egyptian, arguably one of the Premier League's greatest players, cranked up the pressure on Slot after spending the third game in a row on the substitutes bench, as Liverpool let a lead slip twice in a 3-3 draw with Leeds."
"Claims such as he had been 'thrown under the bus' and that 'someone didn't want him at the club' were probably the last thing Slot wanted to hear put into the public, especially after a forgettable run of form that leaves the champions ninth in the Premier League. But what now for Salah at Liverpool? The 33-year-old only signed a new two-year deal in April but admitted on Saturday he was unsure whether he had played his last game for the club."
"Salah rarely speaks to the media but when he does it is typically because he has something important to say. That approach was taken to a new level with Saturday's explosive comments. When he was approached in the mixed zone at Elland Road, he was clear with reporters that he wanted to speak to them. It's unclear whether this was on the spur of the moment out of frustration or something more calculated."
Mohamed Salah publicly stated that his relationship with Liverpool manager Arne Slot has "broken down" after being named on the substitutes bench for three consecutive matches. Salah claimed he had been 'thrown under the bus' and suggested that 'someone didn't want him at the club', as Liverpool squandered a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 with Leeds. The 33-year-old signed a two-year contract extension in April but said he was unsure if he had played his final match for Liverpool. Sources say Salah does not see a future at Liverpool with Slot as manager, increasing pressure on the head coach amid poor form.
