Dominik Szoboszlai showed diplomacy as he discussed the situation at Liverpool on the same day as Mohamed Salah's infamous outburst at Elland Road in DecemberMohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai(Image: 2026 UEFA)When Mohamed Salah sails off into the sunset this summer, the breakdown of his relationship with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot will be a mere footnote in his Reds career.Salah has established himself as one of the club's all-time great players during his nine years at the club, scoring prolifically in each season but this one, and helping to re-establish Liverpool as a leading force both domestically and in Europe.Those are the feats that he will be remembered for, but there was a time earlier this season that all the focus was on the 33-year-old's decline, and subsequent dropping from the Liverpool team.When Salah was left out of a Premier League starting line-up for a third successive game in December, failing to even make it off the bench in a 3-3 draw against Leeds, the Egyptian went nuclear.READ MORE: Liverpool injury news and return dates ahead of Man City after Giovanni Leoni updateREAD MORE: Hungary boss clarifies 'nonsense' reports in bizarre Dominik Szoboszlai and Arne Slot rowIn the Elland Road mixed zone, Salah told journalists that Liverpool had "thrown him under the bus" and said that he no longer had any kind of relationship with boss Slot.At the time, it seemed like there was a good possibility that Salah would not play for Liverpool again.Liverpool teammate and good friend Dominik Szobszlai stayed diplomatic after that game, insisting that any issues within the squad would not be discussed externally."What is in the dressing room stays in the dressing room, it is not for the public," Szoboszlai said."We have to manage it, we have to find solutions. I can always come up with the opportunity on Tuesday or on the weekend again, but there are also times where you have to look at yourself."You have to go home and think if you did everything what was possible, and if the answer is yes, then we just keep going, and the momentum will come."Salah is no longer a guaranteed starter at Liverpool(Image: Getty Images)Salah was left out of the squad altogether as Liverpool traveled to Inter Milan in the Champions League a few days later, in another suggestion that his days were numbered.However, he returned to the squad for a league games against Brighton the following weekend, coming off the bench as an early substitute following an injury to Joe Gomez, and delivered a bright performance in victory.After the game, Salah waved goodbye to the Kop as he prepared to link up with his Egypt teammates for the Africa Cup of Nations.That didn't turn out to be a final farewell, as he returned to Slot's squad the following month, but a player of his repute was never going to be satisfied with a squad role, and it was no surprise when Salah confirmed last week that he would be departing at the end of the season.Liverpool is still in the Champions League and the FA Cup, and Salah will hope he can play a decisive role in achieving success in those competitions before signing off from one of English soccer's all-time great careers in the weeks ahead.
