Alisson opens up for the first time about Liverpool's dressing room perspective after Salah's fiery outburst at the club, while affirming the team still fully supports Slot.
On 9 Dec 2025, Alisson Becker, Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper, firmly confirmed that the team's atmosphere has not been shaken by Mohamed Salah's drama, while showing full support for Arne Slot despite the heavy pressure the team has faced recently.
Alisson spoke candidly about the situation:
“After watching the interview, I thought it might seem strange, but the truth is quite the opposite. We know this is a personal matter, and we respect that.”
“This isn’t a situation that makes us happy. We all love Mo; he is both a wonderful person and an exceptional footballer.”
“What we want is for Mo and the club to find the best solution for everyone involved.”
However, Alisson stated without hesitation that he still has full confidence in the head coach.
“Of course, I still believe in him 100%. Before Arne came in, everyone talked about how hard it would be to replace Jürgen Klopp.”
“It’s like everyone forgot what we achieved last season, but that should be enough to prove he has the knowledge, style, and capability to turn things around.”
“My relationship with the manager is without any problems.”
Alisson admitted frankly that he wants to see Salah back on the pitch wearing the Reds’ shirt, but everything depends on negotiations between the player and the club.
“I hope he plays for the club again, but this is a personal matter between Mo and the club.”
“His absence from the squad is a result of his own actions, and he is smart enough to understand this well.”
Additionally, he revealed that his personal relationship with Salah is closer than just teammates.
“We are not just teammates; we are real friends. We have been through many moments together, both good and bad. That creates a strong bond between us.”
“I will definitely talk to him, but it will be a private conversation.”
