Liverpool’s situation with Mohamed Salah has taken another dramatic turn, with Fabrizio Romano shedding new light on where the club currently stands before an important meeting with the player’s agent.

The past few weeks have been anything but calm for the Egyptian star. Salah found himself left out of the starting lineup repeatedly, sitting on the bench for four straight matches and even being excluded entirely from the clash against Inter Milan. His omission against Leeds, where he played no minutes, appeared to be a breaking point.

Shortly after, Salah publicly suggested that there were figures within the club who wanted him gone. He also hinted that the match against Brighton might be his final appearance at Anfield — comments that sent shockwaves through the Liverpool fanbase.

Tensions Cool After Brighton Cameo

Following behind-the-scenes discussions, relations between Salah and new head coach Arne Slot appear to have improved. Although Salah began the Brighton match on the bench, an early injury to Joe Gomez forced Slot into a first-half change.

Salah entered the game and immediately made his presence felt, providing an assist for Hugo Ekitike’s second goal. In doing so, he set a new Premier League record for the highest number of goal contributions for a single club — another milestone in an already historic Liverpool career.

After the final whistle, Salah’s slow lap around Anfield as supporters sang his name sparked mixed emotions, with some fans interpreting it as a potential farewell gesture.

Saudi Interest Remains Strong

Away from the pitch, interest from Saudi Arabia continues to grow. Three clubs from the Saudi Pro League are believed to be monitoring the situation closely, and the league’s CEO has openly stated his desire to bring Salah to the Middle East.

However, despite the noise, nothing concrete has yet landed on Liverpool’s table.

Romano: Liverpool Not Rushing to Sell

Providing an update on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas, will soon be in England for decisive talks with Liverpool officials. This meeting will take place while Salah is away on AFCON duty.

According to Romano, Liverpool’s stance is clear: the club is under no pressure to sell their star forward. As long as Salah is content with his current role and conditions, Liverpool are happy for him to stay.

That said, the door is not completely closed. If Salah decides he wants a move, the club is open to reviewing a formal proposal — but only if a concrete offer is presented.

Romano stressed that, at this stage, no official bid has been received. Apart from strong interest from Saudi Arabia, Liverpool have not been approached with a deal that would force a decision.

Salah’s Numbers Speak for Themselves

Even amid uncertainty, Salah’s performances continue to underline his importance. His assist against Brighton was yet another reminder of his elite quality, and his latest record saw him move past Wayne Rooney as the player with the most goal involvements for a single club in Premier League history.

Since joining Liverpool, Salah has amassed an astonishing 367 goal contributions — 250 goals and 117 assists — across 421 appearances in all competitions. Those figures make the recent benchings even more surprising and help explain why tensions flared in the first place.

What Happens Next?

With the January transfer window approaching, everything now hinges on the upcoming discussions between Ramy Abbas and Liverpool’s hierarchy. Whether this leads to renewed commitment or the beginning of the end will become clearer in the weeks ahead.

For now, Liverpool are standing firm — and Mohamed Salah’s future remains finely balanced. 🔴⚖️
