Liverpool insist they remain fully committed to Mohamed Salah and his contract — which runs until 2027 — even after omitting him from the squad ahead of their Champions League trip to Inter Milan. Despite recent turbulence, club sources say the decision is viewed as a temporary measure rather than a sign that they are preparing for the forward’s exit.
Salah signed a new deal in April 2025 that extends his stay at Anfield through 2027, and the hierarchy consider him an integral part of the squad, even after a slump in form and a public fallout with manager Arne Slot. The omission from the Champions League roster, the club says, was not disciplinary — rather a short-term reaction to recent events and tactical considerations.
Sources close to the club emphasize that there are no current plans to use the upcoming January transfer window to sign a replacement, nor are they preparing a contingency for Salah’s departure. The club’s stance remains that they intend for Salah to “see out his contract,” and believe the recent conflict can be resolved internally.

On the field, Liverpool’s decline this season — limited goals, slipping league form — has placed added pressure on Salah and his teammates. But the club’s sporting management appears determined not to hastily react to the turbulence. They see the brief exclusion as an isolated episode, not an indication of a long-term breakdown.
For now, all eyes are on the next Premier League game against Brighton — widely expected to be Salah’s last appearance before he heads to the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt. How the forward performs, and whether relationships behind the scenes are genuinely mended, could determine whether this chapter at Anfield ends in reconciliation… or something more dramatic.
