Salah offered early Egypt link-up as January Liverpool exit deemed unlikely

Mohamed Salah has been given the option to join Egypt’s camp earlier than scheduled amid outrage over his “thrown under the bus” comments about Liverpool, yet despite the fallout and speculation over Saudi or Turkish bids, a transfer in the January window is currently viewed as very unlikely. Following a third straight benching and unused substitute role at Leeds, Salah publicly complained of broken promises and a lost relationship with Slot, but with AFCON duty imminent and his contract still fresh, the immediate focus is shifting toward international commitments rather than forcing a mid season move.
