AFCON FOCUS: EGYPT RALLY AROUND MO SALAH AMIDST TENSE LIVERPOOL FUTURE
Mohamed Salah's Egypt teammates are showing fierce support for their captain as he heads to AFCON, amid an uncertain Liverpool future and massive interest from Saudi PIF.
Mohamed Salah's relationship with Liverpool seems tense, but he'll still get a warm welcome from his Egypt teammates as they get ready for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which starts on December 21.
Even though Salah's future with Liverpool is uncertain, his Egypt teammates are supporting their captain as they head to the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.
Egypt, which has won the tournament a record seven times, are in Group B with Angola, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. They'll stay in Agadir, a city on the southern coast, for the first stage.
Striker Ahmed Kouka Hassan posted on social media that players like Salah shouldn't be on the bench. He was talking about Salah being a substitute in Liverpool's last three games, only playing in one.
He added that if Salah does start on the bench, he should be the first player to come on, no later than the 65th minute.
Kouka said that Salah is more than just a teammate; he's a leader and a legend for both club and country, encouraging him to keep working hard because tough times don't last, but his greatness will.
Head coach Hossam Hassan shared a photo of himself with Salah, calling him a symbol of perseverance and strength.
Winger Ahmed Zizo El Sayed called Salah the greatest Liverpool legend ever, and goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhy said he's always the best.
Liverpool hasn't been doing great in their title defence this season. They're currently 10th, 10 points behind Arsenal. Salah has only scored four goals in 13 league games.
After their 3-3 draw with Leeds United, where they gave up the lead twice, Salah told reporters that he felt like the club had thrown him under the bus.
He said it was clear that someone wanted him to take the blame for their poor performance and that someone didn't want him at the club.
Salah wasn't in the squad for the Champions League game against Inter, and he's hinted that he might not play for Liverpool again.
A source from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) told AFP that they're ready to do whatever it takes to sign Salah during the mid-season transfer window.
Egypt hasn't won AFCON in 15 years, but Salah, who is 33, believes they'll win it again before he retires.
He said that he believes it will happen and that it's a great feeling every time he represents Egypt.
Salah has experienced a lot of disappointment in his four AFCON appearances, with Egypt finishing as runners-up twice and being knocked out in the round of 16 twice.
He assisted the goal that put Egypt ahead in the 2017 final, but Cameroon came back to win 2-1.
Egypt, as hosts and favourites, was shocked by South Africa in the first knockout round in 2019, losing 1-0 to a late goal.
They reached the final again in 2022 but lost to Senegal on penalties after a goalless draw.
Last year in the Ivory Coast, Salah injured his hamstring against Ghana and didn't play again in the tournament. Egypt then lost to the Democratic Republic of Congo on penalties in the round of 16.
This year, Egypt has a lot of attacking talent, including Salah, Omar Marmoush from Manchester City, Mostafa Mohamed of Nantes, and Mahmoud Trezeguet Hassan and Zizo from Al Ahly.
Group B is the only group in Morocco with two teams that have qualified for the 2026 World Cup: Egypt and South Africa.
South Africa did better than expected by finishing third at the 2024 AFCON, but their coach, Hugo Broos, thinks it will be tougher this time, as every team will be trying harder to beat them.
Angola and Zimbabwe have both recently hired new coaches: Patrice Beaumelle from France and Mario Marinica from Romania.
Angola has reached the quarterfinals three times, including last year, while Zimbabwe has never made it past the first round.
CRISTIANO RONALDO PROTESTS AL-HILAL'S BENZEMA DEAL BY SKIPPING AL-NASSR LEAGUE MATCH
Cristiano Ronaldo is fuming. Discover why the Al-Nassr star skipped his last match and is now threatening to leave Saudi Arabia.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been the main attraction in the Saudi Pro League ever since he landed in the Middle East three years ago. Now, for the first time, it looks like he’s actually thinking about leaving. He’s frustrated. He feels the playing field isn’t level, and it’s starting to get to him.
Here’s the deal: Four clubs in the league—Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ahli—get their backing straight from the state. But Ronaldo sat out Al-Nassr’s match against Al-Riyadh on Monday night. Why? He was protesting. He found out Al-Hilal was about to sign Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad, and that was the last straw. From Ronaldo’s perspective, Al-Hilal keeps getting more freedom to splash cash than everyone else. They’re the current champions, and Ronaldo still hasn’t managed to win his first Saudi title.
Saudi officials tried to calm him down. According to Diario AS, they reached out and argued that most of Al-Hilal’s extra spending comes from Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, not the Public Investment Fund (PIF). Al-Hilal just brought in Kader Meite for €30 million, Saimon Bouabre for €23 million, and now Benzema. Al-Nassr, on the other hand, only managed two free transfers this winter. Sure, they spent a lot more in the summer, but that didn’t seem to matter to Ronaldo.
Reports from Portugal, cited by AS, say Ronaldo’s not ruling anything out—not even leaving Saudi Arabia this summer. That’s despite just signing an extension with Al-Nassr until 2027.
And honestly, he has a point. Since he arrived, Al-Hilal have spent €647 million, while Al-Nassr have shelled out €410 million and Al-Ittihad €365 million. These numbers probably don’t include salaries—and let’s face it, nobody’s making more than Ronaldo. He’s supposed to return on Friday when Al-Nassr face Al-Ittihad, but right now, no one really knows if he’ll play or if he’s planning his next move.
N’GOLO KANTE SKIPS TRAINING AS AL-ITTIHAD BLOCK HIS MOVE TO FENERBAHCE OFFICIALLY
N’Golo Kante has gone on strike at Al-Ittihad after a paperwork error blocked his move to Fenerbahce. Can he still sign by Friday?
N’Golo Kanté didn’t show up for Al-Ittihad training on Tuesday, and it’s not hard to see why. He was all set to head to Fenerbahçe, but the deal fell apart at the last minute—apparently because Al-Ittihad messed up some paperwork. Kante was supposed to fly to Istanbul and sign, but thanks to this administrative slip, he’s stuck in limbo. There’s still a shot at reviving the transfer sinceKanté Turkey’s transfer window stays open until Friday, February 6.
Kante was one of the first big European names to jump to the Saudi Pro League, joining Al-Ittihad in 2023 after seven years with Chelsea. He’s been a key player in Jeddah, helping Al-Ittihad win the 2024-25 league title and the King’s Cup.
Then, in the middle of the January window, word got out that Fenerbahce wanted him. The Turkish club were eager to add a World Cup winner to their squad. The plan was to swap Kante for Youssef En-Nesyri, who’d head to Saudi Arabia. Everything seemed set until deadline day, when news broke that an error by Al-Ittihad in the Transfer Matching System stopped the transfer cold.
Fenerbahce didn’t hold back. They blamed Al-Ittihad directly, saying they’d done everything right: agreements with the players, medicals, paperwork, all wrapped up on time. But Al-Ittihad entered something wrong in the system, and that was that. Fenerbahçe even asked for an extension and reached out to FIFA, but nothing moved. In the end, the deal died, and Fenerbahçe put out a statement saying they understood the frustration and would keep working to strengthen the squad.
Meanwhile, Kante’s making his feelings clear. According to Ben Jacobs, he skipped training on Tuesday, still hoping the move to Fenerbahce can happen. Santi Aouna says talks between the clubs aren’t dead yet. L’Equipe is reporting that Kanté doesn’t want to play for Al-Ittihad while he waits for FIFA’s decision. With the Turkish window open until Friday, there’s still a glimmer of hope for Kante, though En-Nesyri’s move is off the table for now.
