The rift between Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah and Reds manager Arne Slot continues to simmer. The Egyptian superstar was omitted from the squad for Tuesday night's Champions League victory over Inter Milan.
Before the fixture, Slot confirmed that Salah would be missing following his contentious remarks over the weekend. The 33-year-old forward had been benched during Liverpool's dramatic 3-3 stalemate with Leeds United on Saturday, representing his third straight game outside the starting eleven.
After the match, Salah expressed he felt he'd been "thrown under the bus" and suggested his relationship with Slot had deteriorated. In some of the latest Liverpool news, the Reds have now been advised to sell Salah whilst a club legend has allegedly held discussions with club officials regarding his media comments about the club.
Salah transfer verdict
Salah had alleged that his relationship with head coach Slot had soured and suggested that Sunday's clash against Brighton might potentially be his final appearance in a Liverpool jersey. The forward is scheduled to link up with Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations on December 15.
Former Liverpool player Dean Saunders has now proposed that the club should separate from Salah in the January transfer window, unless the Reds' icon offers an apology.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Saunders said: "Surely him and his agent must have looked at the reaction and seen that not one person has said Mo Salah is right.

"Surely he must be thinking, 'I've upset a load of Liverpool fans,' to the point where I think they'd be glad if he went. To play for Liverpool is a privilege, whoever you are. I've had a look at it and he's probably earned about £60m in wages in eight years.
"How he can say the club's throwing him under the bus is beyond me. [He should] look in the mirror and don't blame everybody else. But his comments were as if he thought, 'The only way this club's been doing well is because of me'.
"Unless he apologises in the next couple of days, where it doesn't look like he's going to, I'd sell him and get some money back for him."

Carragher showdown talks
Liverpool are said to have arranged talks with club legend Jamie Carragher regarding his media coverage of the Reds. During Sky Sports Monday Night Football, the former defender delivered a remarkable eight-minute rebuttal to Salah's criticism of Slot.
The Daily Mail reports that the club organised a "confidential meeting" in September to address how the pundit covers Liverpool across various media platforms. This discussion took place prior to his public disagreement with Salah and represents standard practice for the club.

Carragher suggested that Salah was merely "known as the man who failed at Chelsea" before arriving at Anfield, highlighting the 33-year-old's disappointing stint at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho. Salah managed just two goals and three assists across 19 appearances during his time at Stamford Bridge between 2013 and 2015.
The same report suggests that the former Liverpool defender is content with his approach to his roles with Sky Sports and American broadcaster CBS, with one source maintaining that his views are "honest" and "come from a good place".
However, the same Mail report also alleged that several Liverpool players have grown 'frustrated' by the 47-year-old's remarks.
Carragher subsequently issued an apology for his outburst on Monday Night Football, saying: "Mo, I apologise I've upset you. I love you as the Liverpool player, but you just need to behave yourself off the pitch."
