Senior figures point to his contract, which runs until 2027, and insist his recent omissions were only temporary.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re said to be shocked at how quickly the situation has deteriorated, but believe the next step is down to Salah. If he wants to leave, he must clearly state his intentions so the club can respond. However, if his hardline stance continues and no solution is found, the situation could become unworkable.<\/p>\n<p>Is there still a way back for Salah?<br \/>\nClarence Seedorf said on Prime Video Sport that the door remains open if Salah is willing to reconcile with Slot and take responsibility for his comments.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the forward is prepared to make peace with the head coach may ultimately determine if his Liverpool career continues. AFCON gives him a chance to step away from the turmoil and refocus with Egypt, potentially cooling tensions before he returns.<\/p>\n<p>Slot has hinted that it\u2019s up to Salah to initiate reconciliation if he wants to regain his place in the team. Liverpool are ready to let him go if he believes the relationship has broken down beyond repair, but they remain hopeful he\u2019ll apologise and avoid ending one of Anfield\u2019s greatest careers on a sour note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mo Salah\u2019s future at Liverpool has been thrown into uncertainty following his highly publicised outburst last weekend.
