Dominik Szoboszlai has spoken with Mohamed Salah almost daily during the AFCON, but insists the forward's Liverpool future is a decision for manager Arne Slot and the club. Salah's contract situation remains uncertain after his explosive interview about a broken relationship with Slot, with his availability for Wednesday's Champions League trip to Marseille to be confirmed.

Szoboszlai defended his own recent form, addressing criticism from Barnsley's Conor Hourihane over a risky back-heel. He also missed a penalty in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Burnley, a game where Liverpool created an xG of 2.95 from 32 shots. He remains confident in taking spot-kicks when Salah is absent, though the Egyptian remains first-choice.

The Hungarian midfielder revealed contract talks are ongoing with his current deal expiring in 2028. He views the upcoming Marseille clash differently than the Burnley match, expecting a more open game. Szoboszlai emphasized the team must be ready for an opponent that plays from the back, not a low block.
