MO SALAH sensationally claimed Liverpool have “thrown me under the bus” and shown a lack of respect, saying: Someone wants me out of the club.
The Egyptian superstar, 33, accused the Reds hierarchy of breaking promises in the summer after he signed a new two-year £42million contract in April.
Salah was demoted to the subs bench for the third match in a row and did not come on as Leeds rescued a 3-3 draw at Elland Road on Saturday night.
The club legend is soon to leave to Morocco for the Africa Cup of Nations but is open to leave Anfield in the January transfer window after a stunning outburst.
Salah did not name boss Arne Slot by name, though he claimed someone up high wants him out of Merseyside.
In an astonishing interview, Salah said: “I don’t know what to say. It’s funny but I couldn’t believe it.
“It is a very disappointing result for us as a team.
