Liverpool fans think Mohamed Salah could be about to leave the club after spotting what he did in Sunday's match against Aston Villa.
Liverpool cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Villa at Anfield, with Jurgen Klopp's side moving up to third in the Premier League following their win.
Dominik Szoboszlai put the home side ahead with a superb strike early on to open his account for the club before Liverpool doubled their lead through a Matty Cash own goal, after Darwin Nunez had hit the post.

Nunez then had a hand in Liverpool's third goal, flicking a corner on for Salah to finish at the back post.
It was the Egyptian's 188th goal for Liverpool and may well end up being his last, with the forward strongly linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Pro League club Al Ittihad reportedly had a £150m bid rejected by Liverpool for the 31-year-old earlier this week but are expected to return with an improved offer, with the transfer window not closing for Saudi clubs until September 7.
Salah has kept tight-lipped about his future but fans think they've spotted a sign he could be on his way.
After grabbing his goal against Villa, Salah had a strangely muted celebration and did not appear to smile - although he did gesture in the direction of The Kop after hugging his teammates.
Reds supporters believe it could be a sign that he is set to move to Saudi Arabia, with Al Ittihad reportedly ready to offer Liverpool as much as £200m - a price the Merseyside club would struggle to turn down.

"Anyone else think Salah didn't celebrate like normal when he scored?," one concerned supporter posted on X.
Another added: "Salah, no smile, no look at the Kop, he's gone. Last goal, crying here."
"Salah smile plssssss," posted another.
A fourth added: "I hope I am wrong but I think Salah is off to Saudi."

While another wrote: "Can't be the only one wondering why Salah didn't celebrate."
Speaking ahead of the match, Klopp played down the reports linking Salah with a move to Saudi Arabia - insisting he remains part of his plans for the season.
Asked if he had to think about selecting Salah or not, Klopp laughed before saying: "I didn't have to! It's a media story and it never came through. I have a big desk in my office, a lot of papers, laptop, iPad and none of them are busy with this kind of news.
"I have a lot of other things to do and we didn’t even think about it. Mo has had a completely normal, good training week. There was nothing from my point of view to think about."
