SAUDI SCRUTINY: ANALYZING LIVERPOOL'S REFUSAL TO TERMINATE MO SALAH'S $PL-LINKED CONTRACT
Mohamed Salah is not expected to feature against Brighton. Sources reveal Liverpool leaders are ready for his early AFCON departure as contract and transfer talks intensify.
Sources report that Arne Slot doesn't expect Mo Salah to play in this weekend's game against Brighton & & Hove Albion. Apparently, there's no apology coming from the Liverpool star, and a departure plan is already being discussed.
Sources inside the Liverpool team told us that they don't think their Egyptian teammate will be on the field this weekend. The team is getting ready for the Anfield game, assuming Salah won't be there.
We've heard that Liverpool's leaders don't see any point in Salah playing against Brighton and told his people that he can join up with Egypt early before this month's AFCON.
So far, Salah hasn't said he's ready to leave early. He previously said his parents would be at the game to say goodbye to the fans ahead of the competition in Morocco.
Salah has been training by himself following Liverpool's midweek trip to Milan, where they beat Inter 1-0.
We also heard that Salah doesn't think he needs to apologise to anyone, including Slot, and the club doesn't think he will.
Earlier this week, we reported that Salah's people think the best thing would be for Liverpool and the player to agree to end his contract, which has 18 months left.
Liverpool isn't planning to let Salah leave as Saudi links grow.
But for now, Liverpool hasn't shown any sign that they'd consider a deal like that.
Saudi Arabia is still the most likely place he'll go. We know that the Pro League hasn't officially contacted Liverpool yet, but they're aware of what's happening.
Sources in Saudi Arabia confirmed to us that the Pro League would let Salah pick his club if he decides to move there.
FSG’s football director, Michael Edwards, is keeping the club's owners updated, while sporting director Richard Hughes is still planning for January, with Slot's support.
Liverpool is supporting Slot, and that doesn't seem likely to change.
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.
