Mohamed Salah tipped to quit Liverpool in aftermath of Jurgen Klopp row
Mohamed Salah’s future has come under increased scrutiny as he appeared to show his discontent in a touchline conflict with Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool drew against West Ham
Mohamed Salah has been tipped to leave Liverpool this summer following his touchline spat with Jurgen Klopp against West Ham.
The German coach will depart Anfield at the end of the season, but Clinton Morrison believes Salah could follow him out of the door. It is a moment which could signal the end of an era on Merseyside.
The Reds’ aspirations to end the season in success unravelled against the Irons as they could only draw. The results sees them five points behind Arsenal with three matches remaining of the season, and Man City able to overtake the Gunners via a game in hand.
Feyenoord boss Arne Slot is set to take over from Klopp in the coming months and is set to arrive with Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold in addition to Salah, entering the final year of their contract. At 31 and with big interest from Saudi Arabia last summer, a decision could be made on the Egyptian.
Salah has been in and out of Liverpool’s starting lineup in recent weeks, but Morrison believes increased scrutiny on the former Roma ace is as much to do with the players around him.
He explained: "He’s not in brilliant form at the moment, I was at the Merseyside derby, he was missing big chances.
"Problem is, Salah still has the numbers, the reason you’re noticing it now is the other two aren’t scoring. Before when he had Bobby Firmino and Mane, it’s alright. These two, Diaz and Nunez are missing big chances and everything gets put on Mohamed Salah.
"That exchange didn’t look good, we didn’t know what was said, it’s disappointing he’s not playing because even if they had a slight chance against West ham, you need your best players on the pitch. That’s frustrating. Personally, I don’t see Salah being at Liverpool next season."
Liverpool will hope for a less dramatic end to their season the touchline row. While Klopp attempted to draw a line under the incident, Salah suggested ’If I speak today there will be fire ’ as he passed reporters at the London Stadium.
