Overview
- Speaking on The Wayne Rooney Show, Rooney said fans have “probably seen the end” of Salah at the top from this summer.
- Rooney attributed the downturn to age-related loss of pace, noting Salah “is not moving as well,” and compared the slump to Virgil van Dijk’s early-season dip.
- Salah has six goals in all competitions this season after being dropped from the starting XI by Arne Slot in November.
- Following public criticism of Slot and the club, Salah went to the Africa Cup of Nations, then returned to the lineup and scored against Qarabag in the Champions League.
- Despite renewed links to Saudi clubs in January, Salah stayed at Liverpool and remains under a two-year contract signed last April.
