Salah collided with the manager during the match. He was caught arguing with Klopp while preparing to substitute in the 35th round of the 2023-24 English Premier League against West Ham United on April 27.

They raised their voices against each other. Salah expressed his discontent, gesturing louder than Klopp's. After the game, Salah said, "If I open my mouth, it will burn even more." Klopp also said, "I can't tell you. I solved the problem well in the locker room. It's already over." Rumors of a disagreement began in earnest, concealing each other.

The reason for the fight has also been revealed. West Ham striker Mikayl Antonio who was waiting for Salah to be deployed at the touchline heard their conversation and made public. "Normally, when Liverpool players are deployed, Klopp hugs the players," Antonio told the Football Podcast. "He was showing his hand, but Salah couldn't see him because he was wearing a shin protector," adding, "He said 'Do you want to go back to the bench?' and Salah reacted strongly."

Salah was excluded from the starting line-up, and Liverpool's atmosphere was not good, so it became a hot topic. Salah, who clashed with Klopp, entered the match against West Ham and did not perform well, and Liverpool also finished with a draw. Liverpool, which had formed the lead throughout the season, is slowing down at the most important point and moving away from the championship.

There are also considerable criticisms against Salah, who caused controversy. In particular, Liverpool legend Graham Souness called Salah the most selfish player I have ever seen. Appearing on the podcast "William Hill," he said, "Salah has a self-centered mindset. I think he was angry because he didn't start at the match against West Ham. I think it was a reaction to the fact that he was put in 10 minutes before the end."

"Sala has always said that she is not happy if the coach replaces her. He is a player who always fought when Sadio Mane was there," he said. "Maybe Sala will leave Liverpool. Of course, it was very good in Liverpool, but if you go to Saudi Arabia, you can become the biggest star in the world."

Currently, Sala is expected to leave Liverpool in the summer. However, some predict that Sala will not leave the team as Klopp leaves Liverpool at the end of this season and a new era opens for Arne Slot's appointment next season. As the contract expires in June 2025, there is weight that Liverpool will not sell it immediately.
