Mohamed Salah’s relationship with Liverpool is broken. Salah made sure that everyone else at Liverpool – the club’s hierarchy, head coach and even teammates he professed to love – would be under it with him.Slot went under the bus with Salah’s revelation that there is no longer a relationship between Liverpool’s head coach and star player.

Those teammates include Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool’s best performer this season, who started in Salah’s place against West Ham, Sunderland and Leeds. Virgil van Dijk might take issue with his colleague too, having said: “It’s not like you have unlimited credit, everyone has to perform,” when asked about Salah’s demotion in midweek.Another post-Sunderland line from the Liverpool captain leaps out after Salah’s interview.

Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo, signed for the south coast club by Hughes, is understood to have a £65m release clause that can be activated in the first two weeks of January.Salah’s interview was divisive – it may have been given with a move to Saudi in mind – but it has received some support because it chimes with the frustrations surrounding Liverpool’s season. Ao Tanaka’s 96th-minute equaliser for Leeds on Saturday was the 10th goal Liverpool have conceded from a set piece in the Premier League this season.Salah will retain hero status at Liverpool irrespective of the fallout from his interview, although an internal show of support for Slot would confirm the club believe he has gone too far.
