I know it&#8217;s a big jump from now until the end of the season, but that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going to happen for Liverpool as a team and as individuals. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll be looking at.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So the uncomfortable conversation is about why we don&#8217;t have Mo Salah in that team anymore and how. Maybe the African Cup of Nations is the time to test that!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It will be interesting to see if Liverpool decide to let Salah go in the coming weeks. There is no doubt that he is a legend at the club, but his performances this season have been very mediocre. He&#8217;s not in his best form right now, so it might be ideal to remove him from the lineup.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Salah_is_likely_to_leave_the_club\"><\/span>Salah is likely to leave the club<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/liverpool-v-aston-villa-premier-league-414x276.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/liverpool-v-aston-villa-premier-league-630x420.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/liverpool-v-aston-villa-premier-league-768x512.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/liverpool-v-aston-villa-premier-league-770x514.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/liverpool-v-aston-villa-premier-league-900x600.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/liverpool-v-aston-villa-premier-league-1200x801.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/liverpool-v-aston-villa-premier-league.jpg.webp 1373w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Liverpool&#8217;s Mohamed Salah applauds his fans (Photo by Carl Recine\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are also rumors that the Egyptian player could leave the club at the end of the season.
