So it\u2019s not only the PIF-affiliated clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo plays for Al-Nassr, Salah\u2019s former Liverpool teammate, Darwin Nunez, is at Al-Hillal, another former Premier League player of the season, N\u2019Golo Kante, is at Al-Ittihad, but Salah is the biggest football star from an Arab country.<\/p>\n<p>Salah said, after he was an unused substitute in the 3-3 draw with Leeds on Sunday, that he felt like he had been \u201cthrown under the bus\u201d by Liverpool and no longer had a relationship with manager Arne Slot.<\/p>\n<p>The 33-year-old Egypt forward was then left out of Liverpool\u2019s squad for their Champions League tie at Inter Milan on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Salah has played a key role in Liverpool\u2019s two Premier League titles and one Champions League triumph during his iconic spell on Merseyside. He signed a contract extension in April as he led Liverpool to the title.<\/p>\n<p>Salah is set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations after next weekend\u2019s home match against Brighton in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>He hinted that the Brighton game could be his last with the Reds before leaving during the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024-25, Salah scored 29 goals and provided 18 assists last season, but he has been a shadow of his former self during Liverpool\u2019s struggles this season \u2014 the title-holders are 10th in the table \u2014 with just four goals in 13 top-flight appearances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll players have their ups and downs.
