Speaking ahead of the Brighton match at Liverpool's AXA Training Complex in Kirkby, Salah's future dominated the agenda."I will have a conversation with him this morning and the outcome of that conversation will determine how it looks tomorrow," Slot stated."What I need is a conversation with him and the next time I speak about Mo should be with him and not in here. I speak to him today and the outcome determines how things will look tomorrow."When questioned whether Salah's lacklustre defensive contribution initially led to his benching, the Liverpool boss responded: "You can try in multiple ways but I just said the next time I speak about him should be with him.

"I think we decided as a club and I was part of that not to take him to Inter," the Dutchman clarified."I am always in contact with them with line-up and squads, that is always left to me. I see no reason why I don't want him to stay."Regarding whether he felt justified after victory against Inter without Salah, the Reds manager remarked: "This club has won a lot of games with Mo, so that is the answer." Trending Following his third consecutive benching at Leeds last Saturday, Salah aired his grievances to journalists in the mixed zone.

Now I'm sitting on the bench and I don't know why. I don't know why, but it seems to me, how I see it, that someone doesn't want me in the club."
