Report: Mohamed Salah could be set for shock January Liverpool exit

Key Highlights

• One source states “Several senior figures at PIF and within the Pro League believe the power lies with them,” a remark that hints at a strategic patience from Saudi decision makers.
• PIF’s stake in the nation’s four heavyweight clubs, Al Hilal, Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli, gives them both structure and momentum.
• Their pursuit of Salah has never been purely financial, it has been aspirational.

• Salah being left out of the starting eleven in successive matches for the first time in his Anfield career is a seismic detail, symbolic of both tactical evolution and individual struggle.
• Liverpool’s slump, which has seen the champions fall to ninth, adds further tension. The club’s interest in Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo, after already spending £250 million on forwards in the summer, only heightens the internal pressure.
