"Mohamed Salah took everything in at full-time of Liverpool's 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton, applauding all four sides of Anfield while home fans serenaded their 'Egyptian king' with his familiar song. By the time he reached the tunnel he was the last player on the pitch, giving a little wave towards the main stand, where his family were sat. A goodbye perhaps? Only for now, it seems."
""There is no issue for me to resolve," said Slot. "For me, he is now the same as any other player. There is nothing for me to talk about after what happened against Leeds." In his outburst at Elland Road last Saturday - where he claimed to have been "thrown under the bus" by the club and had no relationship with his Dutch boss - Salah said this game against Brighton could well be his farewell."
Mohamed Salah celebrated with fans and acknowledged his family after Liverpool's 2-0 win over Brighton before travelling to Cairo for the Africa Cup of Nations. Manager Arne Slot insisted there is no lingering issue and described Salah as no different from any other player following the Elland Road incident. Salah had criticised the club and hinted the Brighton match might be his farewell, having been left out of the Inter Milan squad. He entered as a 26th-minute substitute for the injured Joe Gomez. Talks between Salah and the club are planned during his international duty and their recent meeting was positive.
