Following his confrontation with Jurgen Klopp during the Reds’ 2-2 Premier League draw against West Ham on Saturday, Mohamed Salah has been backed to depart Liverpool this summer.

The Hammers’ late goal in the Premier League’s opening match handed them a point, dealing a severe blow to Klopp’s team and ending Liverpool’s prospects of winning the title.

After Antonio’s goal, Salah entered the game as a substitute, but not before he was seen quarreling with Klopp on the touchline. When the game was over, Salah declined to comment on the incident in the mixed zone, stating only, “If I speak today, there will be fire.”

Former Scotland and Rangers striker Ally McCoist stated on TNT Sports: “You see Salah coming back to have another bite and one of his team-mates looks like he has to intervene – that stuff should be for behind closed doors.”

When asked if he believed Salah, who was heavily linked to a summertime move to Saudi Arabia, will go at the end of current campaign, McCoist replied, “Yes, I do.”

“He has been one of the top players in this league, absolutely amazing for Liverpool, but his play has declined and it appears that he may be leaving, in my opinion. It could work out well for Salah to move on and for Liverpool to reinvest the money they received in exchange for him.”

With three Premier League games remaining, Liverpool is currently third in the standings. With this being Klopp’s final season at the club, Liverpool’s chances of winning the championship are now very limited.

With two games remaining against the Reds, the defending champions Manchester City are one point ahead of them in second place, while leaders Arsenal are two points ahead of Klopp’s team ahead of Sunday’s derby against Tottenham.

Additionally, Liverpool will host Ange Postecoglou’s team at Anfield the following Saturday as they take on Spurs.
