The latter strongly criticized Reds coach Arne Slot after the 3-3 draw at Leeds on Saturday evening, following his third consecutive start on the bench. The Egypt international is rumored to want to leave Anfield next month.
Salah claims to have been “sacrificed”.
Salah signed a two-year contract extension at Anfield earlier this year, after playing a key role in Liverpool’s league title. The Egyptian striker scored 29 goals and provided 18 assists for the Reds last season, which earned him a new contract.
However, Salah is struggling to repeat his performances from last season, with just four goals and two assists in his first 13 league games. After starting the last three games on the bench, the 33-year-old is now tipped to leave the club next month.
After the 3-3 draw at Leeds on Saturday, Salah strongly criticized manager Arne Slot, saying he had been “sacrificed” and that he planned to bid farewell to supporters when they face Brighton next weekend. “I can’t believe it, I’m really disappointed. I have done so much for this club over the years, and especially last season,” Salah said after that six-goal game at Elland Road.
“Now I’m on the bench and I don’t know why. I feel like the club has let me down. That’s how I feel. It’s clear that someone wanted to put all the blame on me. »
Liverpool are preparing alternatives to replace Salah in the return, and Bradley Barcola is among the players targeted by the club. Barcola has started nine of PSG’s fifteen league games this season, scoring five goals.
PSG are in the midst of contract extensions for several of their key players, and the French winger is among those who have been offered a new contract. Barcola are yet to sign, with Liverpool on the lookout for a bid for the 23-year-old.
