Mohamed Salah: Content Writer Potential

On December 6, Mohamed Salah exploded. He did it in a mixed zone after a match against Leeds in which he did not play and was on the bench. Thus, the Egyptian did not hesitate to point out: «I am very, very disappointed. I have done so much for this club over the years, and especially last season. Now I’m sitting on the bench and I don’t know why. It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus. That’s what I feel. “It’s very clear to me that someone wanted me to bear all the responsibility.” The player, disappointed, even threatened his club with an exit in the winter market.

As the weeks have passed, things have calmed down. The player was in the Africa Cup and there he got some fresh air. Now, everything is going in favor: Salah started for Arne Slot as soon as he returned, he returned to training on Tuesday and the 33-year-old Egyptian started in the match against Olympique de Marseille in the Champions League. Although it could be seen that he has not completely recovered his best version. Liverpool’s star is now Szoboszlai, more than Salah, the English press pointed out the day after the match. Renewed in extremis last season, Salah is still far from his best level, which he showed in the previous year with 29 goals in the Premier League.

Saudi Arabia to save face

Less involved in the game, less connected with his new teammates like Florian Wirtz and Frimpong, the forward has raised doubts in the board. What if the offered renewal was ultimately a bad idea? Luckily, the Saudi Pro League could bail everyone out. According to the ‘Daily Telegraph’, the Saudi clubs are going to return to the fray for the Egyptian, after having failed to sign him in recent years. First, because they are still interested in Salah (and also in Vinicius), and second, because they are going to lose several stars at the end of the season, with the end of the contract of Mané, Fabinho and Benzema, among others.

The squads will have to be renewed and new stars brought in. Mohamed Salah stands as a priority, despite his 33 years, and this exit door could satisfy all parties. Liverpool would bring in some money and would not be seen as an ungrateful club that pushes the player out, while Salah would win financially, maintaining control of his destiny. Although an offensive could arrive already in this winter market to explore the terrain, everything indicates that it will be next summer when it is really decided.
