Murphy: Salah’s Dip in Form, Not Clash with Slot, Fueled His Liverpool Exit
Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy argues that Mohamed Salah’s recent loss of form was the main reason for his departure rather than any fallout with manager Arne Slot. Salah enjoyed a stellar 2024–25 season with 34 goals, a Premier League title and a PFA Player of the Year award, earning a contract extension. But his form declined soon after, leading to bench appearances and a public outburst at the coaching staff. Murphy believes that any manager would have faced the same dilemma of dropping a struggling player. He suggests Salah chose to move on while his reputation remained intact, solidifying his status as a Liverpool legend despite lingering “what if” questions over a different ending at Anfield.
