The 33-year-old only signed a new two-year deal in April but admitted on Saturday he was unsure whether he had played his last game for the club.BBC Sport takes a closer look at what happens next to the player who has scored 250 goals in 420 Liverpool appearances.Media caption, 'He's making it all about him' - Murphy on Salah'Salah's relationship with Slot is genuinely broken'BySenior football correspondentSalah rarely speaks to the media but when he does it is typically because he has something important to say.That approach was taken to a new level with Saturday's explosive comments.When he was approached in the mixed zone at Elland Road, he was clear with reporters that he wanted to speak to them.It's unclear whether this was on the spur of the moment out of frustration or something more calculated.His comments quickly went around the world and put Liverpool head coach Slot under increased pressure and scrutiny.On Sunday, in the aftermath, there was little sign that there was any regret or walking back from what Salah said.Sources with knowledge of the situation told BBC Sport that Salah's relationship with Slot is genuinely broken at present.They said he simply doesn't see a future at Liverpool with Slot as his manager.

Salah is said to feel that Slot has been influenced by that media commentary – yet when he has not played the Reds arguably haven't played any better.We were told that Salah feels a different tactical approach this season driven by the club's transfer dealings isn't suiting him.Those sources were at pains to say how much Salah loves Liverpool and also how frustrated he has become at their struggles.BBC Sport was told on Saturday that Liverpool are open-minded about Salah's future amid Saudi interest. All questions Slot will have to field in Milan.A day later, Liverpool will be facing Inter Milan looking for a win to move them back into the top eight of the Champions League - but will Salah be involved?The Reds then face Brighton at Anfield on Saturday, Salah's last match before he was due to meet up with the Egypt on Monday for the Africa Cup of Nations.Whether Salah will even be at Anfield is currently uncertain and, if he is, the reaction of the supporters towards his outburst would be very interesting.Whatever happens, you feel the next seven days will be very telling with regard his Liverpool future.'It's an error from Salah' - reactionFormer England goalkeeper Rob Green, told BBC Radio 5 Live: He only ever speaks when it's going wrong for him or it's not going swimmingly.

Now, with the Afcon coming up and with this outburst it's kind of a gift for Slot to say no one is bigger than the club, out you go.Or he can bring him back into the squad, nurse him back into the team but do it under his say so. For me, Salah is an all-time great for Liverpool, for everything he's done.
