Arne Slot may deprive Mohamed Salah of his “Last Dance” at Anfield, as the Dutch manager considers punishing the Egyptian superstar following his recent controversial message.
Salah expressed his frustration after a heavy 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa, subtly criticising Slot’s tactics. This move has confirmed the total breakdown of their relationship, which has been reportedly deteriorating since last November.
According to The Mirror, the atmosphere inside the Liverpool dressing room is “extremely tense,” with rumors of a squad split regarding the manager’s leadership.
Salah’s message has fueled speculation that half the team is against Slot. Infuriated, the manager is reportedly weighing up a tactical punishment: benching Salah for next Sunday’s season finale against Brentford.
While fans expected their legend to start and receive a standing ovation, Slot’s anger could change everything. British media have also slammed the 34-year-old’s stance, especially his public demands for a more attacking style next season, given that he is officially leaving the club this summer.
