Mohamed Salah put Liverpool firmly in the firing line by claiming the Reds have thrown him “under the bus,” making his future at Anfield immediately seem untenable. But the club are reported to still want to keep the veteran Egyptian superstar amid a “bewildering” turn of events.
Salah’s pointed—and potentially premeditated—comments in the mixed zone following a third straight game on the bench last weekend blew up. He insisted he is being scapegoated for Liverpool’s form, said he no longer has a relationship with manager Arne Slot and even went as far as claiming he doesn’t need to fight for his place in the team because of past contributions.
