Liverpool Football Club is engulfed in a major crisis following stunning public comments from their star forward, Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian winger has launched a scathing attack on manager Arne Slot and the club's hierarchy, accusing them of sidelining him and damaging their relationship.
Salah's Relationship with Slot Completely Broken
In a fiery post-match interview on Saturday, December 7, 2025, after Liverpool's chaotic 3-3 draw with Leeds United, Salah revealed the depth of the rift. He stated that his previously good relationship with the Dutch manager, Arne Slot, has now completely collapsed.
"I have said many times before that I have a good relationship with the coach. Suddenly, we don't have a relationship. I don't know why," Salah declared. This admission comes after the player was left on the bench for three consecutive Premier League games—a first in his storied Liverpool career.
"Throwing Me Under the Bus" - Salah's Stinging Accusation
The 33-year-old forward, who signed a two-year contract extension just last summer, expressed deep disappointment and a sense of betrayal. He directly challenged the decision to bench him, especially during a crucial phase of the season.
"I can't believe it, I'm very disappointed. I've done so much for this club... To be on the bench - I don't know why. I feel like the club is throwing me under the bus. That's how I feel," Salah said in the explosive interview reported by ESPN and Football Transfers.
He further suggested he is being made a scapegoat for the team's recent struggles, which include dropping points against Leeds. "It's not acceptable to me, to be honest. I don't know why it always happens to me. 'We throw Mo under the bus, because he's the problem.' I don't think I'm the problem," he added.
January Exit Looms for Liverpool Legend
The emotional tone of Salah's remarks has sent shockwaves through the football world, casting serious doubt over his future at Anfield. Despite his long-term contract, the interview strongly hints that the player is already considering a departure.
"To me, it seems like someone doesn't want me at the club," Salah stated, while reaffirming his love for Liverpool. This public airing of grievances places the club's management in a difficult position. They must now choose between backing their new manager, Arne Slot, or mending fences with one of the club's greatest-ever players.
The situation represents a defining moment for Liverpool. The coming weeks will reveal whether the rift between Salah and Slot can be repaired or if the iconic forward's legendary chapter at the club is heading for a turbulent and premature end.
