Liverpool's losses did not stop upon receiving their fifth consecutive home defeat, which had not happened previously in the club's 129-year history, but a new problem surfaced that increased ambiguity about the future of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah.

On Thursday, Liverpool lost 1-0 at home to Chelsea at the end of the 29th stage of the English Premier League, a defeat that froze the team's balance at 43 points in seventh place.

The 62nd minute of the match saw the exit of striker Mohamed Salah, who seemed angry at a decision that Liverpool fans were not accustomed to, with the team's first scorer.

Jimmy Carragher, former captain of Liverpool, told Sky Sports, "I am surprised by the exit of Salah, that he does not seem very happy, and Liverpool needed a goal, and Salah is the Premier League scorer."

Rami Abbas - Salah's business agent - added to the matter with a mysterious tweet that he published after the player's exit, in which he only added one point without any additional comment.

The tweet sparked speculation about the message it carried, and some considered it a sign of the end point and the arrival of Salah's career to its conclusion with the club that won the English Premier League last season.

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp tried to resolve the controversy early, and said in comments after the match that he had decided to replace Salah, because "the strength of the match was affecting" the Egyptian striker.

"At that moment it seemed that the strength of the match was affecting Salah, and I did not want to take the risk. Things are fine, I make the decisions that I think are appropriate at that moment. He seemed to be suffering a little as he played a lot of games. I could get Sadio out," Klopp said. Mane) or Roberto (Firmino), it is clear, but in those moments he seemed to be Salah.

Salah has a contract with Liverpool that extends until 2023, and his exit from the team seems extremely difficult in light of the financial crisis that afflicts major clubs due to the Corona pandemic, which prevents them from venturing into huge deals during the next transfer market.

However, the Egyptian king may have another opinion, and he may come out with an explicit decision asking to leave, after he indicated that he hinted earlier and showed his interest in playing in the Spanish League with Real Madrid or Barcelona.
