Mohamed Salah speaks out about Liverpool future and admits Sadio Mane 'tension' - Liverpool Echo
- Mohamed Salah revealed in 2025 that there was tension between him and Sadio Mane during their five years together at Liverpool, where they won multiple major trophies.
- The tension arose from incidents such as a 2019 Burnley game where Salah chose to shoot rather than pass to an open Mane, and an international clash in which Mane’s Senegal defeated Salah’s Egypt, with Mane taking the decisive penalty that prevented Salah from having a shot during the final shootout.
- Despite their off-pitch distance and rivalry at international level, Salah emphasized they always showed mutual respect and maintained professionalism throughout their time at Liverpool.
- Salah acknowledged there was some tension with Sadio but emphasized they maintained professionalism throughout; he also pointed out that he was Mane’s top assist provider.
- Mane departed Liverpool during 2022 to sign with Bayern Munich and later continued his career at Al-Nassr, while Salah committed his future to Liverpool by agreeing to a new two-year contract amid ongoing discussions about his status, indicating that the end of their partnership did not negatively impact the team's achievements.
