Mohamed Salah\u2019s explosive post-match interview after Liverpool\u2019s 3-3 draw with Leeds United has dominated headlines, but newly surfaced fan footage suggests he may have already made up his mind long before speaking to the media.<\/p>\n
A clip circulating widely on X shows Salah walking toward the away section and appearing to bid farewell to the travelling supporters.<\/p>\n
While most attention has been on his verbal blast at the club\u2019s hierarchy, this silent moment adds emotional weight to the situation \u2014 indicating his comments were not a spur-of-the-moment outburst, but a deliberate decision.<\/p>\n
Salah appeared to say goodbye to the away fans<\/p>\n
The video, filmed by supporter Chloe Bloxam just after the final whistle, shows Salah \u2014 who didn\u2019t feature at all during the match \u2014 heading straight toward the Liverpool fans while his teammates walked off dejectedly.<\/p>\n
In the footage, Salah stands alone, looking up at the away end before raising both hands in a slow, drawn-out wave. It wasn\u2019t the usual quick applause players give after a match; it felt more like a farewell.<\/p>\n
Supporters online immediately picked up the tone. One fan noted, \u201cThat\u2019s not a \u2018thanks for coming\u2019 wave, that\u2019s a \u2018thank you for everything\u2019 wave.\u201d<\/p>\n
His calm, reflective body language mirrors the explosive interview that followed, where he said he had been \u201cthrown under the bus,\u201d claimed he has no relationship with Arne Slot, and suggested someone within the club is trying to force him out.<\/p>\n
The footage strongly hints that Salah already believed his time at Liverpool was nearing an end.<\/p>\n
Is Brighton set to be Salah\u2019s final Liverpool game?<\/p>\n
The viral clip adds weight to Salah\u2019s remarks about Liverpool\u2019s next fixture. In his interview he said, \u201cI told my mum: \u2018Come to the Brighton match\u2026 it\u2019ll be my farewell before I go to the Africa Cup of Nations.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool host Brighton at Anfield next weekend \u2014 their final match before Salah leaves for AFCON duty on December 15. With the January window set to open while he is away, and the club reportedly furious and demanding a public apology, that Brighton game is increasingly shaping up to be his last in a red shirt.<\/p>\n
If Liverpool decide to move him on in January or if the relationship with Slot is deemed irreparable, Salah might not play for the club again after next weekend.<\/p>\n
That wave at Elland Road may ultimately be remembered as the moment the end became inevitable \u2014 the beginning of the final chapter for the Egyptian King at Liverpool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
