Money Talks: Liverpool blocks Salah’s farewell moment against Brighton

Latest update on Salah ahead of Brighton clash

A British report reveals a new move by Liverpool regarding the star Mohamed Salah after his clash with manager Arne Slot and the club's leadership.

The Telegraph reports that Liverpool does not plan to stage an official farewell for Salah during Saturday's match against Brighton at Anfield before he links up with Egypt ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, despite rising speculation about his future.

According to the paper, the club wants to protect Salah's market value and avoid sending signals of an imminent departure that could affect potential talks about his future.

This development follows Salah's omission from the starting XI in three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since joining in 2017, triggering his anger and strong comments toward the coach and the club's management.

His latest remarks also led to his absence from the Liverpool vs Inter Milan Champions League match, which ended 1-0 in favor of the English side at the Giuseppe Meazza, fueling talks about his possible exit.

Salah's name has recently been linked with a move to the Saudi league should he decide to leave the Reds.

Punchline: If money is the reason, Liverpool's accountants just filed a farewell request under "assets under management."

Punchline 2: If Salah moves, the transfer gossip column will still be faster than his sprint to the goal—and that's saying something.
