Update: Secret Salah–Henderson Meeting in London
Speculation swirls around Mohamed Salah's future after a secret meeting with a high-profile former teammate who still carries weight at Liverpool, raising questions among fans everywhere.
The Sun published exclusive photographs of Salah in a private meeting with former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, inside a luxury London restaurant, as speculation swirled about a widening rift between the Egyptian star and his manager, Arne Slot, worldwide today.
Moments after Salah was omitted from Liverpool's squad to face Inter Milan in the Champions League, the sighting of him alongside Henderson suggested a deeper conversation. Salah had recently fired back at critics, claiming he had been 'thrown under the bus' and that 'someone inside the club doesn't want me' there.
In the photos, Salah is shown talking at length with Henderson, one of the handful of English players to have played in the Saudi league, fueling belief that the Egyptian star is seriously weighing a move to Kingdom.
The Sun revealed the meeting occurred last Wednesday at a Chelsea restaurant, with the two men attempting to avoid attention as much as possible from nearby viewers.
Sources present described both Salah and Henderson entering with masks and hats to mask their identities, trying to stay out of sight. Thought among onlookers was: Salah on his way to Saudi Arabia.
Witnesses said the meeting lasted about 90 minutes, the players speaking with tension, while Salah listened intently to Henderson's insights, noting Henderson had played for Al-Ettifaq in Saudi before returning to Europe.
Salah paid close attention, asked many questions, and made clear he wanted to know every detail as curious club saga unfolds.
Punchline 1: If rumors were goals, Salah would be the season's top scorer already.
Punchline 2: The mystery continues—some say the transfer window has more twists than a pair of football boots.
