JAMIE REDKNAPP PREDICTS JANUARY MOHAMED SALAH EXIT FROM ANFIELD
Arne Slot defends his decision to bench Mohamed Salah, who remains professional. But the star's performance dip fuels speculation about his long-term future.
Liverpool might lose Mohamed Salah in January because his relationship with the club is at a breaking point, according to Jamie Redknapp.
Redknapp, a former Anfield player, made this prediction after Salah was left out of Arne Slot's starting lineup for the second game in a row against Sunderland. Salah entered as a substitute in the second half but couldn't stop the Reds from drawing 1-1 with Sunderland.
Redknapp said he'd be amazed if Salah finishes his Liverpool contract, which ends in 2027, and suggested he might leave in January.
Last season, Salah was key in Liverpool's title win, scoring 29 goals and making 18 assists in 38 league games. This season, though, his performance seems to have dropped, like many of his teammates, putting more pressure on Slot during a bad run of results.
Redknapp told Sky Sports he is worried that Salah and Liverpool are close to a bitter split.
"He's a Premier League legend, a Liverpool icon, so I don't think this will end well," he said. It'll be a tough situation now, because the manager has someone so talented, so important to the team, in the changing room and in how they act and play in practice.
He doesn't want to sit on the bench; he didn't sign this contract to end his career. He wants to play regularly, every week.
I'd be shocked if he finishes the last two years, or a year and a half, of his contract. I don't think this helps at all. Nothing in football would surprise me, whether it's in January or in the summer.
If the right club comes along... a lot will depend on him. He's earned that. If he says, 'I'm not going to start for you, and I'm not going to stick around. I'll go wherever.' I still think he'll want to play in Europe.
The first thing everyone will say is that he'll go to Saudi Arabia—he's a legend there—or to the US, but this is a breaking point in the relationship.
He'll feel let down and maybe blamed for what's happening. The team is winning without him, and those stats are pretty good when he doesn't play.
No one is vital, time passes, and it's going to be hard now.
Slot said earlier that Salah was unhappy about being benched and shared his reaction.
Before the match, he said, "We didn't talk much, not this time and not before West Ham." We talked a lot after the Frankfurt game, but not as much now.
He's reacting like a top player should. He trained hard and well the day after the West Ham game and again yesterday. He's positive with his teammates.
He's an example when he plays and when he doesn't.
ANALYTICAL: WHY £400M-SPENDING LIVERPOOL STILL DESPERATELY NEEDS ARDA GüLER
Liverpool joins rivals Manchester United and Arsenal in the race to sign highly-rated Real Madrid attacking midfielder Arda Güler, following their UCL win.
Liverpool, the reigning Premier League champs, are set to host Brighton and Hove Albion at Anfield this Saturday afternoon.
Arne Slot's team hasn't been doing great lately, with only two wins in their last ten Premier League games. They recently tied 3-3 with Leeds United, who are also having a tough time.
But the Reds did get a win in the Champions League on Tuesday, beating Inter Milan 1-0. This gets them closer to qualifying for the next stage.
Now, after that big win in Milan, word is Liverpool wants to sign one of La Liga's biggest stars.
CaughtOffside says that Liverpool and Manchester United are both interested in Real Madrid's Arda Güler.
The report also says that Arsenal, who are leading the Premier League right now, also want the Turkish player, who's been playing really well this season.
Guler, who's 20, moved to Real from Fenerbahce in 2023. He's played in over 80 games for the Spanish team in all competitions.
He's scored 15 goals and assisted 18 times during that time. His play for Xabi Alonso's team has caught the attention of quite a few English teams.
The report says that all three Premier League teams are seriously interested in Güler, who mainly plays as an attacking midfielder but can also play on the wing.
Güler's contract with Real Madrid lasts until the end of the 2028/29 season, but it sounds like clubs might try to get him to leave Madrid next year.
Liverpool's manager, Slot, reportedly wants to add more creative players to his team, even after spending over £400 million on new players this summer. He thinks Güler is the right guy for the job.
VIRGIL VAN DIJK DENIES RIFT: MO SALAH'S RANT IS "BLOWN UP" BY MEDIA; I WANT HIM TO STAY
Virgil van Dijk claimed Mohamed Salah's "thrown under the bus" comments haven't affected the team, stating the internal atmosphere and training remain "normal."
Virgil van Dijk claims Mohamed Salah's recent outburst hasn't messed with the Liverpool team's vibe. He said training felt normal.
After Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds, where Salah sat on the bench, he said he felt thrown under the bus by the club, blamed for their bad season, and hinted he might leave in January.
This rant got him in trouble. He didn't travel with the team to Milan for their Champions League game against Inter, which they won 1-0 thanks to a late penalty by Dominik Szoboszlai.
Van Dijk told Sky Sports that even after Salah's comments, things were fine within the team.
It wasn't that hard to deal with. "It's just how he felt after the game," Van Dijk said. When we came in on Sunday, the team felt the same as always.
We know what's up, but the media is blowing it up. We just need to deal with the fact that we had a big game and another one coming up this weekend. We'll see what happens.
When asked if he'd spoken to Salah and what they talked about, Van Dijk said, Of course I spoke to him. But that's private.
Salah's time at Liverpool seems uncertain, but Van Dijk wants him to stay: I've been with Mo for a long time. He's helped me a lot here, and I've helped him. We've done it together.
Salah mentioned issues with the club, feeling benched without reason, and a strained relationship with the manager, suggesting someone at the club doesn't want him there. He also spoke about his contract, saying he thought he'd retire at Liverpool, but now things are uncertain.
He's leaving for the African Cup of Nations soon. I hope he does great. "I don't know what will happen next," Van Dijk added.
I hope he comes back to Liverpool, but it's up to the club and Mo. We're friends no matter what, and we've been through a lot together. We'll see what happens.
Arne Slot's team was short some players in Milan, including Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa.
When asked if Salah had let the team down, Van Dijk responded, I won't say if someone let someone down. He didn't travel because of what he said after the game. He trained normally yesterday. We'll see what happens on Friday when we train again. I'm focused on the team. Mo is still part of the team for now, so we'll see.
Andy Robertson, who has played with Salah for years, hopes he doesn't leave on bad terms.
It's tough. "We're talking about one of the best players ever to play here," Robertson said. I joined at the same time as him. Whatever happened, we're all in this together.
About Salah's future, he said, That's not up to me. I love playing with Mo, and I hope we keep playing together.
