Liverpool are reportedly not planning to give Mohamed Salah a farewell when the Reds host Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Salah<\/a> did not travel to Italy for Liverpool\u2019s Champions League win over Inter on Tuesday<\/a> after claiming the club had \u201cthrown him under the bus\u201d in an explosive interview on Saturday night.<\/p>\n Mo Salah situation explained<\/p>\n Benched three games in a row, so speaks out against club, Slot The Egyptian forward revealed that he told his family to attend Saturday\u2019s match against Brighton, hinting that it could be his final appearance at Anfield before he heads to the Africa Cup of Nations next week.<\/p>\n His bombshell interview resulted in him being left in Liverpool<\/a> as his teammates travelled to Italy, and it is unclear whether he will be in the squad to face Fabian Hurzeler\u2019s side this weekend.<\/p>\n He is clearly eager to play, having lost his marbles and claimed everyone hates him after only three games on the bench, one of which he came on at half-time. But Liverpool don\u2019t want to tank his transfer value by making it obvious to suitors that he has no future at the club.<\/p>\n MORE ON SALAH ON F365 Saudi clubs will \u2018do whatever it takes\u2019 to sign Salah<\/p>\n According to The Telegraph<\/a>, Liverpool want to \u2018protect any future transfer fee\u2019 as a \u2018long list of Saudi Arabian clubs are \u2018willing to do whatever it takes\u2019 to sign the most recognisable Muslim footballer on the planet.<\/p>\n The Reds will want the highest fee possible and offers are \u2018expected\u2019 in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n Liverpool\u2019s stance is that Salah should bring in a substantial fee given his contract runs until 2027, and parading him in front of the Anfield crowd to wave goodbye would essentially confirm that there is no way back. Doing so would obviously weaken their position in negotiations, with a move to the Saudi Pro League still the most likely outcome.<\/p>\n A source told Telegraph Sport: \u201cThere is competition within the Saudi league to bring in Salah. It\u2019s not only the PIF-affiliated clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n Saudi clubs have recently scaled back transfer spending, but will make exceptions for players like Salah, whom they have pursued for more than two years.<\/p>\n Salah trained alone on Tuesday and with the team on Monday, and he should find out on Friday if he is in the squad for the Brighton game.<\/p>\n There will surely be talks between the Egyptian and the Liverpool hierarchy to decide how to end the stand-off and how to give him the right send-off.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udde3\ufe0f \u201d I think it\u2019s time for him to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Mido, who won the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt, weighs in on Mo Salah\u2019s current situation at Anfield. pic.twitter.com\/g1lljHuhPm<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) December 11, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Lineker weighs in on \u2018awful\u2019 Salah situation<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Gary Lineker believes it would be \u201cawful\u201d for Salah to leave Liverpool on bad terms.<\/p>\n \u201cI find it a little bit sad,\u201d Lineker said. \u201cObviously, a lot of the footballing world are attacking Mo, and I understand why.<\/p>\n \u201cI just hope his legacy is not spoiled here. I think he\u2019s just got a bit emotional and got caught at the wrong time after not being brought on.<\/p>\n \u201cI wonder if he regrets it now. I saw him post on Instagram of him just in the gym, totally on his own.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope they can find a way out of this. Maybe Mo can go, \u2018I\u2019m sorry, I got a bit emotional, I shouldn\u2019t have done it,\u2019 blah blah blah. That might sort it out.<\/p>\n \u201cI suspect he\u2019ll be out again at the weekend because he\u2019s got the African Cup of Nations. But if they can have some kind of peace conference before he goes, kiss and make up, go away, play the African Cup of Nations, come back refreshed, reinvigorated, perhaps slightly apologetic\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d hate it \u2013 it\u2019d be awful if it ended miserably after such a wonderful, what is it, nine years?\u201d<\/p>\n MEDIAWATCH:\u00a0CONFIRMED: Mo Salah is a footballer who \u2018wished Liverpool well\u2019 in Milan!<\/a><\/p>\n
