Arne Slot has expressed uncertainty over whether Mohamed Salah will don a Liverpool jersey again following Salah’s recent provocative interview.
In his comments, Salah claimed the club has turned against him and indicated that his relationship with the team’s manager has soured.

The Egyptian’s remarks have drawn criticism from various pundits, including Wayne Rooney, who urged Slot to bench him.
Salah has also been left out of Liverpool’s lineup for their Champions League match against Inter Milan, with The Guardian reporting that this decision was made by the club’s management in consultation with Slot.
This situation has raised further questions about Salah’s future at Anfield. When asked if the 33-year-old might have played his last match for the Premier League champions, Slot admitted, “I have no clue.”
“I cannot answer that question at this point in time,” he added.
Salah has been a key player for Liverpool throughout the years, amassing 250 goals and 116 assists in 420 appearances, contributing to two Premier League titles and a Champions League victory.

However, this season, Salah has not been performing at his usual level, which is somewhat expected at his age.
Slot’s decision to bench him for the last three matches seems justified.
Nevertheless, Salah’s public expression of frustration was seen as unprofessional and could jeopardize his legacy at Anfield.
Liverpool hopes to keep him until his contract concludes in 2027, but his recent behavior suggests he may be looking to leave sooner.
Clubs in the Saudi Pro League continue to pursue him, with Al-Hilal currently leading the chase.
