Khaberni - Liverpool striker, the Egyptian player Mohamed Salah refused to apologize for his previous statements towards the Dutch coach Slot, in the secret meeting attended by the two parties with the presence of a number of the English club's management. This decision complicates matters within the team further and presents a real challenge to the management, especially as they have been knocked out of the English League Cup and lost the Community Shield title. Moreover, they are currently in ninth place in the Premier League with 23 points from 15 matches, trailing the leader Arsenal by 10 points, according to the report broadcasted by the RT site. They also face the risk of crashing out of Europe, as the team ranks eighth in the Champions League with 12 points after 6 rounds, raising questions about the team’s ability to regain its form after winning the Premier League title last season under Slot’s management.
The "Egyptian Pharaoh" stated that he is experiencing a prolonged period on the bench for the first time, as he did not participate in the last three matches, expressing his feelings of anger and frustration. He added that the club did not fulfill the promises made to him when renewing his contract, and that he feels he has become a "scapegoat" for the team's poor results this season. Salah mentioned that the relationship between him and Slot changed suddenly, despite there being no previous disputes. He noted that Liverpool's upcoming match against Brighton this Saturday might be his last game for the "Reds" before deciding to leave during the January 2026 transfer window, before joining the Egyptian national team for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
