Mohamed Salah Observes from the Sidelines
In this fictional storyline, Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool has rapidly become one of the most talked-about sagas ahead of the January transfer window.
Arne Slot’s decision to leave the Egyptian superstar out of the starting XI for two straight Premier League matches set off heated debates, and Salah’s recent comments in this imagined scenario have only added fuel to the fire.
Salah Left Out
In this narrative, Salah was not included in the squad against Leeds United, and his post-match remarks hinted at frustration — even though he remained respectful in public.
There is no dressing-room drama in this fictional tale, but his displeasure is clear.
Liverpool’s hierarchy are expected to meet with his representatives soon, and that meeting could be crucial for his fictional future at Anfield.
Transfer Pressure Mounts
In this imagined storyline, Saudi Arabian clubs are leading the chase.
Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal are portrayed as the front-runners, with the Saudi Pro League viewing Salah as a marquee signing. Sources in the fictional narrative suggest bids in the region of €80–100 million could be prepared, featuring bonuses and a sell-on clause.
MLS teams are said to admire Salah as well, though they cannot financially compete with the Saudi offers described in the story.
What Happens Next?
Liverpool — within this narrative — now face two choices:
- bring Salah back into Slot’s system and keep him for the season,
or - accept a major January offer and secure a replacement immediately.
With fictional tension rising and Saudi clubs pushing hard, the possibility of a winter departure is portrayed as increasingly realistic.
A Fictional Rift
In the context of this story, Salah is said to feel disconnected from Slot and believes he is being pushed away from the club he has given everything to.
Having helped Liverpool win every major trophy, the fictional version of Salah expected better handling of the situation.
Whether the imagined disagreements can be resolved remains the big question.
