- Marco van Basten criticized Mohamed Salah on Ziggo Sport, saying he had “the brain of an insect” and describing Arne Slot as straightforward and honest.
- Salah’s output has dipped this season, with reports noting only five goals in all competitions after a 29-goal Premier League campaign last year.
- Salah publicly complained about repeated benchings, saying he felt scapegoated and no longer wanted by the club.
