As things stand, Mohamed Salah looks more ‘out than in’ from Liverpool at the end of this season. Despite his spectacular performances for the Reds up until now, the club is yet to make an offer for the Egyptian.

Following his game against Manchester City, the No. 11 claimed that this might be his last game against them. However, manager Arne Slot has now responded to the same. Surprisingly, Slot refused to take Salah seriously, writing off the winger’s statement as a ‘joke’.

Moreover, the Dutchman also drew in City to the discussion, with his ‘115 charges’ jab quickly becoming viral on social media.

Maybe Mo knows more about the 115 charges, so he expects them not to be in the Premier League next season. It was a joke. I repeat, a joke.

Subsequently, Slot also clarified that he expects Liverpool‘s rivals to remain in the Premier League next season. However, it is no secret that several other clubs in the Premier League are keen to see the Cityzens be penalized.

As for Salah, the 32-year-old has been linked with a move to Ligue 1 giant Paris Saint-Germain. His contract expires at the end of the season along with that of Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

This comes after the player’s admission in a previous interaction with the press that he looks ‘more out than in’. Simon Hughes of The Athletic writes that Salah is growing increasingly ‘exasperated at the club’s handling of negotiations‘. Hughes also stated that the slow pace of negotiations is frustrating for the star and that he’s yet to open talks with other clubs due to contractual obligations.

Salah currently earns £350,000 a week and is aiming to land a higher salary that reflects his contribution as the ‘best’ player in Liverpool’s line-up. Besides Salah, both Trent and Van Dijk are yet to make a decision on their future as well. Liverpool’s next game is against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.
