Mohamed Salah is unlikely spend \u201csix months\u201d in his current Liverpool situation as he\u2019s \u201cnot happy\u201d according to a source quoted within a report.<\/p>\n
Liverpool<\/a> and Salah<\/a> have underperformed this season. As a club, they\u2019re ninth in the Premier League, and the superstar winger has six direct goal contributions in the competition, with just two more coming in the Champions League.<\/p>\n The pitfalls of both have come hand in hand, and in a bid to turn things around, manager Arne Slot has dropped Salah for the last two games \u2013 against West Ham and Sunderland \u2013 after he was also left out of two earlier European games.<\/p>\n It\u2019s little coincidence that Florian Wirtz has had some of his best games without Salah influencing Liverpool\u2019s attack, and that could give Slot a tough decision between the pair \u2013 a flashy big signing and a potentially fading superstar.<\/p>\n At the moment, with Salah having played just 45 minutes across the last two games, it\u2019s suggested he might not last long.<\/p>\n A source told Caught Offside<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s hard to see\u00a0anything other than Salah leaving\u00a0if the situation doesn\u2019t change. He\u2019s not happy about the situation. He\u2019ll always be professional about it, but I don\u2019t see him spending six more months on the bench, and we know there\u2019ll be interest.\u201d<\/p>\n However, another source said: \u201cThere hasn\u2019t been any decision yet. Let\u2019s see where we are in a few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n DON\u2019T MISS<\/strong>:\u00a0\ud83d\udd34\u00a0Ranking Arne Slot\u2019s biggest transfer mistakes as Liverpool sack pressure builds<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Salah set to stay at Liverpool<\/strong><\/p>\n TEAMtalk insider Dean Jones has given the lowdown on Salah\u2019s future at Anfield, with the immediate future unlikely to change<\/a>.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cThe word out of Liverpool is that they don\u2019t expect anything to change with Salah\u2019s situation in January and that he seems committed to helping turn around this season.\u201d<\/p>\n On a future transfer, he added: \u201cIt\u2019s not beyond reason that Salah could leave for Saudi Arabia in 2026, though.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re talking about a time when it is becoming clear he is on the decline, and yet he could still make a move that would earn him around \u00a3150million a year.<\/p>\n \u201cBut of course it takes an offer to land before any of this falls into place and for decisions to be made. There\u2019s definitely a feeling that he\u2019ll end up there.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has also been linked to San Diego in MLS, but the money he would earn there is a fraction of what he could pick up in Saudi. It would be a huge surprise if he ended up anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n Liverpool round-up: Reds want to keep Konate<\/strong><\/p>\n There remains speculation over the future of centre-back Ibrahima Konate, who\u2019d be available on a free transfer in the summer, though insider Lewis Steele is adamant that the defender\u2019s retention is a priority at Anfield<\/a>.<\/p>\n TEAMtalk has long reported that fellow centre-back Marc Guehi wants to move to Liverpool when his own contract is up at Crystal Palace in the summer.<\/p>\n And sources state that Atalanta\u2019s Odilon Kossounou has taken the fancy of the Eagles<\/a>.<\/p>\n
