Mo Salah’s latest cryptic social media post before flying to AFCON

Wait 5 sec.

Mohamed Salah will fly out to join Egypt’s preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations soon, with the Liverpool forward sharing another cryptic post on social media.Salah is set to join the Egypt squad ahead of the mid-season AFCON this week, having played his final game for Liverpool before the tournament in Morocco.The 33-year-old produced an excellent display from the bench as the Reds beat Brighton 2-0 at Anfield, having been brought back into the squad following talks with Arne Slot.His applause for supporters at full-time has been interpreted in different ways, with some believing it was a farewell from the No. 11 as he continues to be linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.With the situation not entirely resolved, Salah’s latest post on social media is likely to be given the same treatment.Mo Salah broke Premier League record vs. Brightonpic.twitter.com/KFM2eIknxu— Mohamed Salah (@MoSalah) December 15, 2025An assist for Hugo Ekitike‘s second goal on Saturday means the Egyptian has eclipsed Wayne Rooney’s record for the most goal involvements for a single club in Premier League history.Salah shared a graphic to recognise that achievement on Instagram, X and Facebook, with no caption to accompany it.This could be viewed as a sign of his ongoing commitment to Liverpool, for whom he has made a combined 277 goal contributions in the Premier League alone.Or it may further highlight his claim that he is not being treated as he deserves, having told reporters after the 3-3 draw with Leeds: “I don’t have to go every day fighting for my position because I earned it.”What Salah said about ‘earning his place’“I don’t get it,” he said, having been named on the bench for three consecutive games and gone unused in two of those.“I think if I’m somewhere else, every club would protect this player. I don’t know why I’m in this situation now.“But how I see it now is like, ‘you throw Mo under the bus because he’s the problem in the team now’.“I don’t think I’m the problem. I have done so much for this club, to get the respect I want to get, and I don’t have to go every day fighting for my position because I earned it. “People will say ‘you’re not bigger than…’, I’m not bigger than anyone, I just earned my position.”Speaking after Salah’s return to the side against Brighton, Slot suggested the matter had now been dealt with and “there is no issue to resolve.”The head coach insisted he expects his No. 11 to stay with Liverpool after his time at AFCON.
