Salah speaks out after benching: Liverpool are leaving me behind | OneFootball

After yet another game where he didn't even leave the Liverpool bench, Mohamed Salah did not hold back when speaking about his current situation at the club.

The explosive statements came after the Reds' 3-3 draw with Leeds this Saturday (6).

"I can't believe it, I'm very disappointed (...) I've done a lot for this club, everyone can see that over the years, especially last season. Being on the bench, I feel like the club is leaving me to my own fate. That's how I feel," he emphasized.

The 33-year-old Egyptian forward made it clear that there is no relationship with coach Arne Slot.

"I had a good relationship with the coach. Suddenly, we have no relationship anymore. I don't know why. It seems like someone doesn't want me at the club."

Salah will only be available for one more Liverpool game in 2025. On Saturday (13), the challenge will be against Brighton at Anfield.

This match could even mark a definitive farewell, as he will represent Egypt in the African Cup of Nations afterward, and the winter transfer window will open from January 1st.

"We'll see what happens. It's at Anfield that I say goodbye to the fans. I'm going to the African Cup of Nations... because, anyway, I don't know what will happen when I'm there," he concluded.

Salah was targeted by Saudi football for several months but renewed with Liverpool for two more seasons in April this year. In other words, he is under contract until July 2027.

He was not used in the 2-0 win over West Ham on the 30th. He came off the bench during the 1-1 draw with Sunderland last Wednesday (3) and was once again overlooked this Saturday.

He has played 19 games this season, with five goals scored and three assists. He was a starter in 16 opportunities.

Salah joined the Reds in July 2017 for 42 million euros after standing out at Roma.

There was a lot of skepticism, as his time at Chelsea was underwhelming.
