Although it’s unclear whether the captain knew what was coming, the clip has now been confirmed to have been recorded just after Mohamed Salah’s explosive post-match interview — and the timing has only intensified speculation.
Salah’s fiery remarks came in the aftermath of Liverpool’s chaotic 3-3 draw at Leeds, and according to James Pearce, senior figures at the club had a sense something was brewing. However, the forward’s pointed criticism of both the club and Arne Slot reportedly went far beyond what anyone expected.
Insiders say several players sensed a shift in Salah’s mood a day earlier, shortly after Slot informed him he would once again start on the bench. The winger didn’t hide his frustration, insisting:
“The club promised me a lot in the summer. I’ve now been on the bench three games in a row — that doesn’t look like promises being kept.”
That frustration may explain why some teammates appeared willing to let him speak his mind.
Fuel was added to the fire online, with posts claiming that key dressing-room figures — including Van Dijk — were siding with Salah and even calling for Slot’s removal. None of this has been verified, but it has certainly stirred tension among supporters.
What Liverpool Must Settle After Salah’s Outburst ⚠️
The drama arrives at a difficult moment defensively for the Reds. Conceding late goals — including the 90th-minute equaliser at Elland Road — continues to expose recurring issues from set pieces.
Despite the noise, Pearce reports that Fenway Sports Group remains firmly behind Slot, viewing Salah’s recent exclusions as temporary rather than a long-term shift. Interest from MLS and Saudi clubs could resurface after AFCON, keeping the situation delicate.
For now, the immediate questions loom:
Will Salah travel to Milan?
Where does the dressing room truly stand?
And how does Slot regain control of the narrative?
Anfield will be watching every move, every word — and every leaked clip — in the days ahead 👀🔥
