The Egyptian star Mohamed Salah has announced the end of his journey with Liverpool, declaring his departure from the team at the end of the current season, after years of success that began since he joined in 2017 from Roma.

Reports, most notably from the Liverpool Echo, have revealed the behind-the-scenes tension in the relationship between the player and his coach Arne Slot in recent times.

The crisis began when Salah was benched for three consecutive matches, which upset him, especially after he made statements indicating that he felt undervalued within the club and that his relationship with the coach was unstable.

The situation escalated after Slot decided to exclude the player from the team roster for the Champions League match against Inter Milan, before he later returned and appeared as a substitute in the match against Brighton.

Salah returned to play after Joe Gomez's injury, contributing to the team's victory. The tension between him and the coach temporarily eased before he left to join the Egyptian national team for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Despite this de-escalation, reports indicated that the coach was convinced of his tactical decisions, considering that excluding Salah contributed to improving the team's defensive balance, which achieved a series of positive results, reaching 13 matches without defeat, before it ended with a loss to Bournemouth.

The end of Salah's journey with Liverpool remains one of the most notable highlights of the transfer market, as anticipation builds around his next destination after a career filled with achievements.
