Mohamed Salah participated in Liverpool's training session on Monday, appearing positive and smiling with teammates, but was surprisingly left out of the squad for Tuesday's Champions League match against Inter Milan.

The Egyptian forward had previously expressed his frustration, stating he felt “thrown under the bus” by the club and hinting at a possible exit, saying he no longer has a relationship with manager Arne Slot.

Slot will address Salah's comments at a press conference, expected to be a heated exchange, as he seeks to clarify the situation and defend his position.

Mohamed Salah has 19 months left on his £400,000-a-week contract, but reports suggest he could leave Liverpool in January, with the transfer window seen as a potential exit point.

Liverpool's decision to leave Salah out of the Inter Milan squad speaks volumes, suggesting the club is preparing for his departure. The 33-year-old's future looks uncertain, with his comments sparking concerns about his relationship with the team.

Saudi Pro League recruiters have long coveted a move for Mohamed Salah, with the Egypt international seemingly a target for a lucrative deal before he retires. In a previous interview, Salah hinted at his interest in joining the SPL, saying, “My relations with SPL officials are very good, we talked a lot, and the negotiations were serious. 'It was a good opportunity for me; if I hadn’t renewed with Liverpool, it would have happened.”

The 33-year-old's comments suggest he's open to a move to Saudi Arabia, having previously held talks with SPL clubs before re-signing with Liverpool. His contract situation and recent form have sparked speculation about his future, with the January transfer window seen as a potential exit point.
