Liverpool remain intent on keeping Mohamed Salah at Anfield until his contract expires, despite mounting rumours about his future and his unexpected exclusion from the Champions League squad to face Inter Milan on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The choice to leave Salah out of the travelling group was made jointly by manager Arne Slot and the club\u2019s board, amid continued friction between the Egyptian star and members of the coaching staff.<\/p>\n
Now 33, Salah \u2014 a central figure in Liverpool\u2019s success over the past decade \u2014 suddenly finds himself on the periphery of the team during one of the club\u2019s most turbulent periods in recent memory.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have no plans to part ways with Salah<\/p>\n
According to The Athletic, Liverpool are not considering a sale and intend to keep Salah for the full duration of his current deal.<\/p>\n
Despite the ongoing drama, Liverpool\u2019s position has not shifted: Fenway Sports Group (FSG) do not want to sell Salah in the January window and are committed to him seeing out his contract, which runs until 2027.<\/p>\n
Club executives reportedly still see Salah as vital to Liverpool\u2019s global profile and commercial power, even as Slot\u2019s tactical approach has complicated the forward\u2019s role in the team.<\/p>\n
Salah\u2019s omission comes after several disputes\u2014both behind closed doors and in public\u2014between him and Slot, the most notable being Salah\u2019s fiery interview after the 3\u20133 draw with Leeds United, in which he suggested certain people at the club had \u201cthrown him under the bus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leadership wants both Slot and Salah to remain<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, sources say Liverpool\u2019s hierarchy continues to back Slot strongly while also aiming to manage the Salah issue carefully to avoid creating further unrest within the squad.<\/p>\n
The impasse has reignited interest from Saudi Arabia, with Al-Hilal again monitoring Salah\u2019s situation closely.<\/p>\n
Whether the conflict can be resolved remains uncertain, but one thing is undeniable: Liverpool are not prepared to let one of their greatest modern players leave without a fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
