Mohamed Salah could reportedly be willing to return to Liverpool after the club confirmed the departure of head coach Arne Slot.
A source on X has claimed that Salah is ready to consider a comeback if Liverpool make contact with the Egyptian forward.
The timing of the claim is significant, arriving just days after Slot was dismissed following an end-of-season review at the club.
Liverpool confirmed Slot’s exit despite the Dutchman having won the Premier League during his tenure at Anfield, with the club now seeking a new direction.
In March, Liverpool had already announced that Salah would leave at the end of the 2025-26 season, bringing a nine-year spell at Anfield to a close.
He had been expected to depart as a free agent after reaching an agreement with the club regarding his exit.
However, Slot’s sudden departure has immediately sparked speculation that Salah could reverse that decision and remain at the club.
Some reports have suggested fans believe Salah may stay following Slot’s exit, partly because the pair reportedly had a difficult relationship during the season.
Salah had been critical of Liverpool’s style under Slot and had made it clear he preferred a return to the high-energy football associated with Jürgen Klopp’s era.
That context makes the situation particularly significant for Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards as they navigate a major transitional period.
Liverpool are already dealing with considerable squad changes, with experienced players leaving and a new manager expected to arrive in the coming weeks.
Andoni Iraola is currently considered the leading candidate to replace Slot, while Sebastian Hoeness and Pierre Sage have also been mentioned as potential options.
If Salah is genuinely open to returning, Liverpool face a significant decision about whether to pursue that possibility before a new manager is appointed.
His form last season was not at his usual level, but his influence, status and experience at the club remain considerable factors in any such discussion.
Bringing him back, even for one more season, could provide stability and shift the mood around the club during what promises to be a turbulent summer.
With a new coach set to arrive, retaining Salah could offer Liverpool continuity while they rebuild their attacking options from a position of strength.
The key factors surrounding any potential return are reported to be his role within the squad and whether the financial terms prove sensible for both parties.
Salah may not represent the long-term future at Anfield, but the prospect of him bridging the gap during a period of transition carries genuine appeal.
Liverpool losing him was always going to leave a significant attacking hole, and the opportunity to address that from within is not one the club can easily ignore.
