Salah explodes: Claims Liverpool threw him Under the Bus

By Kazeem Ugbodaga

Liverpool was thrown into fresh uncertainty on Saturday after Mohamed Salah delivered a series of unusually candid and emotional interviews in which he accused the club of undermining him, breaking promises made in the summer, and attempting to make him the scapegoat for the team’s current struggles.

Speaking to TV2 Sport, Salah expressed deep frustration over being benched for three consecutive matches, insisting the situation was neither justified nor explained to him.

“It’s not acceptable to me, to be honest,” Salah said, adding that “I don’t know why it happens to me. We throw Mo under the bus because he’s the problem. I don’t think I’m the problem.”

The 32-year-old forward, one of Liverpool’s most influential and decorated players, described a sudden collapse in his relationship with the manager.

“I had a good relationship with the manager. All of a sudden, we don’t have any relationship,” he said.

“I don’t know why. It seems to me that someone doesn’t want me in the club,” he stated.

Salah, who has long been regarded as the heartbeat of Liverpool’s modern success, said he was stunned that he had to “fight for his position” after everything he had contributed.

“I have done so much for this club. I don’t have to go every day fighting for my position because I earned it. I’m not bigger than anyone, but I’ve earned my place.”

His remarks hinted at deeper tensions behind the scenes, alleging that the club had made commitments to him in the summer that have now been abandoned.

“It’s very clear that someone wants me to get all the blame,” Salah said, adding that “The club promised me a lot in the summer, and so far, I am on the bench for three games. All I can say is: keep the promises.”

The Egyptian captain suggested he feels increasingly isolated and targeted within the squad structure.

“The way I see it… you throw Mo under the bus because he is a problem in the team now.”

Asked about his future, Salah did little to calm speculation.

“We will see what happens. In my head, I will enjoy the game, even when I don’t play. We will see what will happen. It’s at Anfield, say goodbye to the fans, go to AFCON because I don’t know what will happen when I’m there anyway.”

Those comments will fuel rumours of a possible January transfer, particularly given long-standing interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Europe.

As of Saturday evening, Liverpool had not issued a formal response, but Salah’s comments will undoubtedly intensify scrutiny on manager–player relations, squad management, and the club’s internal communication.

If the rift remains unresolved, the Reds could be facing one of the most dramatic exits in the club’s recent history, one involving a player who has scored more than 200 goals and helped deliver the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, and Club World Cup.
