Liverpool’s dressing room reaction to enormous Mo Salah departure One journalist has revealed how Liverpool's dressing room reacted to Mo Salah leaving the club. It's rare that a playing force as big as Mo Salah leaves a football club. Really, this is the biggest exit at Liverpool since Steven Gerrard in 2015 and likely won't be eclipsed for a very long time.
Fans have reacted to the news with a mix of heartbreak and expectation. Many felt that it was time for a split this summer given Salah's drop in form and clear problems with Arne Slot. But how did the players react to this?
Journalist Ismael Mahmoud reports from 'sources' inside the dressing room that Salah's exit was 'entirely expected'. Much like the fans, then, the players figured the Egyptian would be off at the end of the campaign. And perhaps that shouldn't surprise - if it was obvious to people outside of the club, we can only imagine how clear it was to those working with Salah day to day.
Regardless, it will hit them hard. The only player in the squad to have been at Liverpool without Mo Salah is Joe Gomez. The rest don't really know day to day life at Anfield without the no.
