"When I look at Mohammed Salah and the position he plays on the pitch, he has lost that extra half yard and the pace is gone with age. When you look at Virgil van Dijk, age is less important for a defender. There were games he performed not at his best and everyone writes him off, but over a full season, even at this age, he shows everyone how good he is."
"Having a big player and a big name (like Salah) is sometimes a problem for both the player and coach. When you expect certain things as a coach from him, and he doesn't do it, then of course you have the right to put him on the bench, but because it's Mohamed Salah, this can cause a massive issue in every press conference every question will be on Salah. It could be best for both sides if Salah goes somewhere else in the summer."
Mohamed Salah had a public feud with manager Arne Slot after being dropped and publicly expressing frustration and blame. The club backed the manager and removed Salah from the squad. Salah's form has declined this season after a standout role in Liverpool's previous league-winning campaign. Observers cite a loss of pace as a key factor reducing his effectiveness on the wing. High-profile status has intensified scrutiny around team selection and press attention. Interest from Saudi Pro League clubs is expected to rise in the upcoming summer transfer window.
