Mo Salah Leaves Cryptic Parting Message To Liverpool Fans As He Heads To AFCON

Mohamed Salah has seemingly left a parting message to supporters as he leaves Liverpool and heads to the African Cup of Nations. 

The Egyptian and Reds boss Arne Slot buried the hatchet following his explosive interview after coming off the bench in the victory over Brighton at the weekend.

It will do little to quell the rumours that he could depart Anfield next month, with a transfer to Saudi Arabia a possibility.

Now he’s added fuel to the fire with a less-than-subtle reminder of his achievements with the club.

Mo Salah leaves a Liverpool parting message

Taking to Twitter, Salah uploaded an infographic which further cemented his reputation as a Liverpool legend.

The graphic shows the Premier League top goals and assists records for players at a single club.

Salah sits at the top of the chart with 277, one ahead of former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

He’s scored 188 league goals for the Reds since joining the club in 2017.

United’s Ryan Giggs is six back on 271, ahead of Harry Kane (259) and Arsenal’s Thierry Henry (249).

Frank Lampard (237), Sergio Aguero (231) and Steven Gerrard (212) make up the rest of the top eight.

The timing of the social media post will raise eyebrows, with question marks over whether Salah has played his final game for Liverpool.

Only Salah will know the intentions of his initial interview, in which he claimed he had been made a scapegoat for the club’s drop in form this season and his lack of relationship with the manager.

It raised speculation as to whether Salah was looking to engineer a move away from the club, while other suggestions included an attempt to isolate Slot to get him the sack.

There were no obvious goodbye waves to supporters at Anfield on Saturday, but he was embraced by his team-mates after a challenging week.

Another cryptic message left by Salah

It was only last week, when he was left out of the squad in Liverpool’s Champions League victory over Inter Milan, that Salah caused a social media stir.

He posted an image of himself sitting alone in the club’s gym –  a synonymous message that he had isolated himself following his abrupt comments.

Salah didn’t write a caption alongside the image, but no words were needed.

His first game for Egypt takes place on December 22 when they take on Zimbabwe. They are expected to go deep into the competition, with the final scheduled on January 18.

Rumours over his future will undoubtedly rumble in the background, with a move to Saudi Arabia the most likely destination.

Salah’s drop in form this season has added to the uncertainty of his immediate future, and Slot could be happy to use his sale to fund new, younger wingers.

Liverpool have been linked with Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo and RB Leipzig’s winger Yan Diomande.
