“What I need is a conversation with him and the next time I speak about Mo should be with him and not in here. “After the Sunderland game there were a lot of conversations between his representatives and ours, our representatives and him, between him and me, and today I will speak to him again.”Asked whether he needed an apology from Salah before considering him for selection again, Slot replied: “Same answer again.”Although it was a club decision to omit Salah from the Milan trip, Slot insisted the final decision on team selection was down to him.

He said: “I think we decided as a club – and I was part of that decision – not to take him to Inter Milan. But I talk to him about so many things.

The decision to play a player or have him in the squad – as I have experienced until now and I think this will never change – is entirely up to me.”Despite Salah’s comments and the furore of the past week Slot offered an olive branch to the 33-year-old over his Liverpool future. “I have no reasons not wanting him to stay,” he said.
