Salah, who had not been in the starting line-up for three consecutive matches and did not play against Leeds United, expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation after the match. A report in the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport stated that Galatasaray, along with Saudi Arabian clubs, was one of the teams interested in Salah.
It was claimed that the Yellow-Reds had contacted Salah's agent and that Galatasaray could offer an annual salary of €15 million, while Liverpool's transfer fee expectation was around €50-60 million and Salah could demand a salary of €20 million.
As rumours spread rapidly that the star footballer would be leaving the club, Ornstein told NBC Sports that Liverpool had not guaranteed that Salah would be a regular starter upon his return to the squad, but that the Reds planned to keep the forward in the squad at least until the end of the season.

As far as I understand, Liverpool are determined to keep Mo Salah in their squad. They want him to stay not just until the January transfer window but at least until the end of the season. They have a contract with him until the summer of 2027, and Liverpool believe they made their intentions very clear by renewing his contract at great expense in May. I believe their view is that this stems from Salah's desire for a guarantee of regular playing time, and that no club, especially Liverpool, would be willing to provide that, despite his legendary status."
Speaking after Leeds United's match, Salah said he was disappointed and frustrated at not being in the starting line-up. In his statement, Salah said, "I'm very disappointed. I've done a lot for this club. In recent years, especially last season, everyone saw that. I don't know why I'm sitting on the bench. I feel like the club is throwing me under the bus. I can't accept this situation, and I've done so much for this club. This situation is unacceptable to me. I don't know why this always happens to me. I don't understand. Any club protects its players. I don't know why I'm in this situation."
