Mohamed Salah’s return to Anfield in the Premier League match against Brighton may have been his final appearance in a Liverpool shirt. This conclusion was drawn by British body language expert Darren Stanton, who analyzed the Egyptian forward’s behavior after the final whistle.
Salah returned to the pitch following an internal resolution of recent tensions and was warmly welcomed by the fans. After the match, he spent a long time applauding the stands, slowly walking around the field as supporters chanted his name and displayed banners celebrating his achievements. With the player set to depart for the Africa Cup of Nations, the moment took on added significance, - reports Idman.Biz.
In an interview with OLBG, Stanton said Salah’s emotions appeared to be those of a farewell. According to the expert, the forward had visible tears in his eyes, while his facial expressions combined sadness and disappointment, which may indicate an awareness that a certain chapter of his career is coming to an end. Stanton noted that such micro-expressions often accompany moments of internal goodbye.
Salah’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain amid recent tensions and rumors of interest from Saudi clubs. In the near future, the forward will focus on representing Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations, while for Liverpool the opening of the January transfer window marks a crucial period for key decisions.
It is worth recalling that Liverpool are set to face Agdam-based Qarabag in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League. The match will be played on January 28 at Anfield.
