What's next for Salah after Klopp touchline row?

Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp were involved in a rather uncharacteristic touchline spat in the second half against West Ham.

The exact reasons behind the row remain unknown, as both parties refused to talk about it after the game.

Last August, Liverpool rejected Al Ittihad's £100m + £50m in add-ons bid for Salah. The Athletic's James Pearce reports that the reason behind turning down the offer was the lack of time to find a replacement.

FSG operate on a 'self-sustainable' model which favours cashing in on players. Pearce writes that Liverpool 'would surely be tempted' to accept the bid had it arrived earlier in the window.

With a year left on the Egyptian's contract, FSG would consider selling him this summer. However, Salah may choose to remain at Anfield and leave the club on free agency in 2025, potentially earning him a huge signing-on fee.

Pearce writes that a lot will depend on the 31-year-old and whether he wants to leave now or later.
