FIFA CONFIRMS: MO SALAH MUST LEAVE LIVERPOOL ON DECEMBER 8 FOR AFCON
Liverpool hopes to keep Mohamed Salah until mid-December, but a FIFA ruling could see him leave earlier for AFCON, missing crucial games against Inter Milan and Brighton.
Liverpool is waiting to hear when it needs to let Mohamed Salah join the Egypt national team for the Africa Cup of Nations.
The tournament starts on December 21, and Egypt plays its first match the next day. Liverpool will have to release Salah before that date so he can attend a pre-tournament training camp.
Egypt is also participating in the Arab Cup before AFCON, with their first game on December 2. But Liverpool isn't required to release Salah for this competition.
Egypt is sending a 'B' squad to the Arab Cup, mainly with players based in Egypt, so the main squad can focus on AFCON.
The main squad has a friendly match against Nigeria on December 7, and Egypt's coach wants Salah to play. Liverpool hopes to keep Salah until after their Premier League match against Brighton on December 13.
FIFA is likely to ask clubs to release their players two weeks before the tournament starts, which would be December 7. If this happens, Salah would miss the Inter Milan game on December 9, as well as the Brighton match.
Salah will for sure be absent from Liverpool's games against Tottenham, Wolves, and Leeds during the holiday season. When he returns after that depends on how far Egypt gets in the tournament.
Liverpool might not miss Salah as much as they would have last year when he was playing his best. So far, Salah's 2025-26 season has been tough. He's only scored four goals for Liverpool outside the penalty box.
Even though Salah is having a hard time, former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard dismissed the idea of dropping Salah after their big loss to PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.
Gerrard told TNT Sports: What else can you do [if Salah is dropped]? Chiesa makes more of an impact as a substitute, and I think it sends the wrong message to the team.
Liverpool is struggling right now. Salah is a senior player, the vice-captain, and has been the key man. He's a big deal here.
That doesn't mean he has to start every game. You can rest him or sub him out, but any manager at Liverpool would start Mo Salah. Liverpool needs its best players on the field.
WHY LIVERPOOL SCOUTS BELIEVE BRADLEY BARCOLA IS THE PERFECT HEIR TO MOHAMED SALAH
Liverpool turns to PSG winger Bradley Barcola after missing out on Antoine Semenyo to rivals Manchester City today.
Liverpool is eyeing Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola after missing out on Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo.
Semenyo looks set to join Manchester City when the transfer window opens in January. Apparently, Pep Guardiola's team was his first choice.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano mentioned that Liverpool might bring in one or two players in January, even after their big spending spree over the summer.
Liverpool spent over £400m on fresh faces this summer, but they still need more players after a bad first half of the season.
The Reds will probably try to shore up their defence in January if they can. They might also add another attacker after Alexander Isak got hurt in their 2-1 win against Tottenham.
There's also some uncertainty about Mohamed Salah's future, which has made Liverpool want attacking players even more, although he's likely staying at Anfield until summer.
Caught Offside claims that PSG's Barcola is now a top pick for either the January window or next summer, since Liverpool couldn't get Semenyo.
They say Liverpool's scouts have been watching the French player closely, seeing him as a long-term solution who could improve their attack under Arne Slot.
Apparently, Slot is a big fan of Barcola. The 23-year-old has become a really exciting winger in Ligue 1.
Barcola's still under contract with PSG until 2028, and they want to give him a new deal. But talks about a better contract have reportedly stalled recently.
The hold-up is apparently because Barcola and his people are being cautious. Barcola, who's scored five goals in 13 Ligue 1 games this season, wants to check out all his options.
Even though they didn't get Semenyo, Liverpool still wants a top-notch winger and is ready to invest in the right player instead of rushing into a quick fix.
Liverpool thinks a January transfer for Barcola would be tough, but they believe getting the ball rolling now could give them an edge for the summer.
Back in the summer, PSG boss Luis Enrique said he expected Barcola to be at the Parc des Princes for many more years.
He said in July, "I expect him to play here for many more years, and I think he wants to." So I have no doubt he’ll remain our player.
FABRIZIO ROMANO CONFIRMS LIVERPOOL REMAIN IN THE RACE FOR MARC GUEHI TODAY
Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool are still chasing Marc Guehi as European giants prepare January transfer offers
Fabrizio Romano, a well-known journalist, recently mentioned on YouTube that Liverpool is trying to get Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. Romano said:
Basically, all the big European clubs are after Guehi. They've all called to see what's up with the centre-back at Crystal Palace.
Right now, no club is close to signing him in January. People close to Guehi think he'll probably move in the summer as a transfer to his favourite club, staying at Crystal Palace until then.
Liverpool is interested, and so is Bayern. Other English clubs, like Man City, have also called. Barcelona and Real Madrid checked in around late October/early November, and we'll see if they make an official offer or not.
A lot of clubs want him, but right now, it seems like he'll move in the summer.
Guehi's Good Performance in English Football
Guehi has been playing well for the London club this season, with many good defensive displays. The 25-year-old has two goals and four assists in 27 games for Crystal Palace in all competitions this season.
The English player has been strong in his own half, averaging 27 tackles, ten blocks, 18 interceptions, and 85 clearances in the Premier League. He's also been good at passing the ball out from the back, completing 84.6% of his passes in the English top tier (stats from fbref.com).
Should Liverpool's New Manager, Arne Slot, Sign Guehi Next Year?
Guehi is good at tackling and times his challenges well to win the ball back. He clears the ball when he needs to and can also play it out from the back.
At 25, Guehi has his best years coming up. He would definitely make Liverpool's defence better.
Guehi would also be a good replacement for Ibrahima Konate, whose contract is ending soon at Liverpool. With all this in mind, it would be smart for Slot to sign him this January or next summer.
