Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has sent shockwaves through the Premier League by publicly criticising the club and strongly hinting that his illustrious Anfield career could be nearing an abrupt end.
Salah's Explosive Comments After Leeds Draw
The Egyptian icon, 33, expressed deep frustration after being left on the bench for the entire 3-3 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday, December 7, 2025. This marked a third consecutive match without a start, a situation the player described as unprecedented in his career.
In a remarkable post-match interview, Salah suggested the club was making him a scapegoat for their disappointing season. "I couldn't believe it. I'm sitting on the bench for 90 minutes," he said. "It seems the club are throwing me under the bus... It's very clear that someone wants me to get all the blame."
He also revealed a dramatic breakdown in his relationship with the manager, stating: "I said many times before that I had a good relationship with the manager, and all of a sudden we don't have any relationship."
Anfield Farewell and January Transfer Speculation
Salah hinted that Liverpool's upcoming home game against Brighton on Saturday, December 13 could be his final appearance for the club before departing for the Africa Cup of Nations. "I am going to enjoy that game because I don't know what is going to happen now," he stated, adding he would be at Anfield "to say goodbye to the fans."
This has sparked intense speculation about a potential blockbuster January transfer move, despite the player only signing a new contract in April 2025. Bookmakers have immediately priced up the markets for his next destination.

Salah Takes Aim at Media and Club Legends
The forward, who boasts an incredible 190 goals and 89 assists in 314 Premier League appearances for Liverpool, also criticised what he perceives as unfair media treatment compared to other stars.
"I remember a while ago, Harry Kane was not scoring for 10 games, everyone in the media was like 'oh, Harry will score for sure'," Salah said. "When it comes to Mo everyone is like 'he needs to be on the bench'. I am sorry Harry!"
He also directly addressed expected criticism from Liverpool legend and pundit Jamie Carragher, showing acute awareness of the narrative surrounding him. "Tomorrow Carragher is going to go for me again and again and that's fine," he concluded, underscoring his sense of isolation.
This public airing of grievances sets the stage for a tense and potentially transformative winter transfer window for one of the Premier League's greatest ever players.
