Liverpool remain determined to keep Mohamed Salah at Anfield until his contract expires, despite increasing speculation over his future and his unexpected omission from the Champions League squad to face Inter Milan on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Salah\u2019s exclusion from the travelling group was reportedly a joint decision made by manager Arne Slot and the club\u2019s hierarchy, amid ongoing friction between the Egyptian forward and the coaching staff.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old, a central figure in Liverpool\u2019s success for almost a decade, now finds himself in an unusual situation\u2014operating on the edges of the squad during one of the club\u2019s most unsettled periods in recent memory.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have no plans to sell Salah<\/p>\n
According to The Athletic, Liverpool have no intention of offloading Salah at this stage and expect him to remain at the club until his contract expires in 2027.<\/p>\n
Despite the off-field tensions, the stance from Fenway Sports Group (FSG) remains unchanged: Salah will not be sold in January, and the club want him to complete his current deal.<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s leadership still considers Salah vital to Liverpool\u2019s global profile and commercial appeal, even as his position under Slot has become more uncertain.<\/p>\n
Salah\u2019s absence from the squad comes after a number of disagreements with Slot, culminating in his fiery interview following the 3-3 draw with Leeds United, where he claimed certain individuals at the club had \u201cthrown him under the bus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Club backing both Slot and Salah<\/p>\n
Despite the discord, insiders say Liverpool\u2019s hierarchy continue to back Slot while also attempting to manage the Salah situation carefully to prevent further internal disruption.<\/p>\n
The ongoing tension has reignited significant interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, who remain keen on signing the Egyptian star.<\/p>\n
Whether the situation can be defused remains unclear, but one thing is certain: Liverpool are not prepared to let their most influential player of the modern era depart without a fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
