Liverpool faces new challenges after Mohamed Salah's departure

In August 2026, Mohamed Salah left Liverpool to join Trabzonspor, ending his successful tenure at Anfield. His departure coincided with the sacking of manager Arne Slot, who had led the team to a title in his first season. Liverpool's new manager, Andoni Iraola, now faces the challenge of rebuilding the squad without Salah's goal-scoring prowess. Meanwhile, Manchester City is also adapting to a new era following Pep Guardiola's exit, as both clubs prepare for an uncertain Premier League season.
