The Liverpool head coach declined to divulge why or when Salah decided to leave the club as he faced the media on Friday for the first time since the Egypt international’s announcement. Slot believes it should be left to Salah to explain the reasons for exiting 12 months before his contract is due to expire. “But that’s in general at the moment, isn’t it?” he said of his own standing among many Liverpool fans after this season’s disappointments.
