Arne Slot has conducted crunch talks with Mohamed Salah over his future at Liverpool. After his choreographed tirade against the club at Elland Road last weekend, it feels inevitable which way the pendulum will swing. While he finds himself in the squad to face Brighton, the Egyptian’s era at Anfield appears to be coming to an end.
“I will have a conversation with Mo this morning, the outcome of that conversation determines how it will look tomorrow,” Slot said ahead of Saturday’s visit of Brighton, the last game before Salah leaves for the Africa Cup of Nations. Contrary to Salah’s approach, Slot is keen to keep their summit behind closed doors. “What I need is a conversation with him. I think the next time I speak about Mo should be with him and not in here.” Those talks have clearly been positive to warrant a return to the fold. The question is whether they were positive enough to keep Salah beyond January.
