The rift between Mohamed Salah and Liverpool has taken yet another dramatic turn, with manager Arne Slot publicly stating that the Egyptian must “take the first step” if the situation is to be resolved. Salah, who was excluded from the crucial San Siro clash, now finds himself at the centre of an escalating saga.
Speaking after Liverpool’s victory over Inter, Slot hinted that the responsibility for reconciliation now lies with the player. “You say everyone makes mistakes in life… so the first thing should be, does the player think he’s made a mistake as well?” the manager questioned, adding more fuel to the already blazing controversy.
Slot further complicated the narrative by raising a key issue: who should initiate the conversation? “Should the initiative come from myself or from Salah? That’s another one to answer,” he said, while clarifying that he has not refused to speak with the forward: “I have not said I’m not gonna talk with Mo anymore.”
These comments come amid intensified speculation linking Salah with a sensational move to Saudi Arabia, where top clubs remain determined to land the Liverpool superstar.
