The biggest summer addition for Liverpool will arrive soon as Arne Slot is ready to meets Mohamed Salah.

On Monday, Mohamed Salah, a forward for Liverpool, is scheduled to return for preseason training. What might be the Reds’ biggest summer boost was confirmed last week.

Mohamed Salah, a forward for Liverpool, was the team’s top scorer in 2023–2024. The Reds have already benefited from having the 25–time season scorer early in the upcoming season.

According to the Liverpool ECHO, Salah will resume preseason training on Monday and will get to know new head coach Arne Slot. At the conclusion of last week, guys like Kostas Tsimikas, Harvey Elliott, and Curtis Jones returned to the group, and when more players return from vacation in the upcoming weeks, the group will only get bigger.

Although there is still interest in the Saudi Arabian-born Egyptian, Salah, it was well clear that Liverpool had no intention of losing him this summer. He has one more year on his contract, so negotiating a new one ought to take precedence.

Salah’s decision to skip the Olympic Games in Paris was announced last week, which greatly increased Liverpool’s prospects of having a successful start to the new campaign. Because it’s neither a FIFA or UEFA competition, Liverpool had the option to thwart Egpyt’s wish for its star player to be one of the three allowed over-23 players for the tournament.

Salah and Wataru Endo, who had previously stated that he would like to travel should Japan select him, have decided not to go. Already sidelined for a year due to a chronic injury, Stefan Bajcetic was left out of the Spain team as he works to regain his full strength.

With the tournament ending only one week before the Reds visit Ipswich Town to begin the new season and coinciding with Liverpool friendlies, Salah’s absence would have caused a major problem. Rather, he ought to have an uninterrupted six weeks to hone his mental acuity and get started right away.

According to Liverpool.com, Salah’s decision to skip the Olympics is a major setback for Liverpool and may have been the greatest boost the player could have gotten this summer. That would not have been ideal in Slot’s first summer if the forward had missed a significant portion of the preseason. Although he was sidelined for a portion of the previous season due to injury, it is hoped that a solid night’s sleep and a full preseason before the Premier League returns will help him recover to full strength.
