Mohamed Salah could be set for the same transformation that Cristiano Ronaldo undertook at Real Madrid
With a change in look that is almost as dramatic as the one undergone by Liverpool this summer, Mohamed Salah reported for Egypt duty over the weekend.
For now, that issue remains without a resolution, just like what will happen over the winger's long-term status as a Liverpool player. Now into the final 12 months of terms he signed on the Greek island of Mykonos two years ago, Salah, who will be 32 inside a fortnight, sees ample speculation around his future as a result.
For their part, Liverpool insist they are yet to be contacted by Egypt about the Olympics issue and are adamant they are planning for life with Salah in the camp for the coming campaign. Can a 32-year-old Salah continue performing at the sort of levels shown these past seven years? Will owners Fenway Sports Group look to heavily incentivize any renewed terms? Does the Liverpool man even want to stay beyond 2025? There is no easy answer to this particular situation.
With Slot potentially getting set to tweak Jurgen Klopp's trademark 4-3-3 to his preferred 4-2-3-1, though, is there a case for turning the previously jet-heeled wide forward version of Salah into a goal-poacher supreme inside the penalty area? The days of Salah dancing away from a handful of defenders before lashing one into the top corner from a wider area are becoming more infrequent but he has lost little of his output in terms of numbers, even if we're accounting for an ordinary couple of months towards the end of the term after a damaging hamstring issue had haltered progress.
