Arne Slot has entered crunch talks with Mohamed Salah over his future at Liverpool. The Egyptian’s era at Anfield appears to be coming, or to have come, to an end."I will have a conversation with Mo this morning, the outcome of that conversation determines how it will look tomorrow,” Slot said ahead of Saturday’s visit of Brighton, the last game before Salah leaves for the Africa Cup of Nations.

I think the next time I speak about Mo should be with him and not in here.”When Salah, Liverpool’s third-highest all-time goalscorer, stepped into the mixed zone for only the fourth time in eight years to unleash hell on the club he’s brought so much glory to, he threatened to plunge Liverpool into a civil war. However, a back-to-basics performance against Inter Milan indicated that Salah’s views were not that of the collective.

It's the second time they have played together and I think we will see more of this in the future.”While things are yet to properly click, this tactical overhaul could be exactly what Slot needs to get the best out of his summer recruits. This, perhaps more than Salah’s outburst, may seal the Egyptian’s fate; his piece no longer fits into Liverpool’s puzzle.Slot insists that he is entering peace talks with last season’s Premier League golden boot winner with the intention of retaining his services beyond January.
