Richard Keys Leaks Liverpool Bombshell Just Hours After Mo Salah Interview

Richard Keys has dropped a Liverpool bombshell off the back of Mo Salah's explosive interview on his situation following the 3-3 draw with Leeds.

Having led 2-0, Liverpool dropped crucial points yet again at Elland Road, with Ao Tanaka scoring a 96th minute equaliser to pile more pressure on Arne Slot.

But Salah only added to that afterwards with his post-match comments in the mixed zone.

An unused substitute in the draw, Liverpool's talisman did not hold back in an interview where could not hide his disappointment with being left out of the starting lineup for three consecutive fixtures.

Salah said he felt that the club had "thrown me under the bus" and that it "is very clear that someone wanted me to get all of the blame".

He has also claimed he no longer has a good relationship with Slot and responded to recent criticism from former Reds defender Jamie Carragher in a truly shocking interview.

Having only signed a new contract Salah appeared to hint at a potential departure after the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt.

Following on from the Salah bombshell, former Sky Sports presenter Keys took to X to claim that the 33-year-old is not alone in seeing his relationship with Slot break down.

According to the 68-year-old, "another very senior member" of Slot's squad has the same view. In addition, Keys doubled down on rumours that former Reds legend Steven Gerrard could replace Slot as an interim boss.

"It was only a matter of time before Salah opened up," he wrote.

"He has no relationship with Slot. And there’s another very senior member of the squad feels the same way. Very senior. I told you a week or so back - come in Stevie G."

Keys' Gerrard theory

There have been repeated reports that Liverpool still back Slot despite an extremely disappointing run following the £450 million spending spree in the summer.

However, Keys believes that Liverpool's top brass want PSG boss Luis Enrique as a long-term replacement at Anfield.

But with that looking unlikely in the near future, the beIN Sports host has a theory that Gerrard turned down a return to Rangers as he may have the chance to return to Liverpool as interim boss.

"Before Brendan Rodgers, can you remember when Liverpool employed Kenny Dalglish to babysit them until the end of the season?" Keys said.

"Did Steven Gerrard have any idea this situation was developing when he said no to Rangers?

"I think, long term, they want Luis Enrique. I think there's little to no chance Paris [Saint-Germain] would let that happen. If that is the case, they would need a babysitter."

Liverpool return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Inter Milan in the Champions League before hosting Brighton on 13 December in the final game for Salah before he heads off to AFCON.
