In the previous two games, Salah, 33, has only scored four goals and only played 45 minutes for Liverpool.
Salah, who signed a new two-year contract in April, is still wanted by the Saudi Pro League, according to sources who spoke to BBC Sport.
“Mo is an exceptional player for us,” Slot said on Friday, “I believe every player in my mind can start.”
He’s always ready to start or leave the bench, according to my mind.
In Slot’s first season as manager, last campaign, Salah scored 29 goals to win the title.
However, he was a substitute for Liverpool’s 1-1 home draw against Sunderland on Wednesday when the club resumed its winning ways at West Ham last Sunday and started from the bench again.
For Saturday’s game against Leeds United (17:30 GMT), it is still to be seen if Salah will start.
When asked if he understood Salah’s discussion after being fired, Slot responded, “Yes because he deserves it, he has been so important to me for six or seven years.
When he isn’t playing, it’s completely normal that people discuss it.
Before entering a new deal with Liverpool that runs until 2027, Salah had strong ties to Al-Ittihad.
Salah has made 420 starts for Liverpool across all divisions since joining the Reds in 2017. He has already scored 250 goals.
This week, Liverpool’s captain Virgil van Dijk claimed that Salah’s decision to leave the club serves as proof that no-one has “unlimitable credit” at the club.
Van Dijk said after the Sunderland draw that “he is still a fantastic player and we still have to remember there is a reason why he has been so successful at the club.”
As one of the leaders, I need him around. I’m not concerned. He is disappointed, which is perfectly normal since he is also disappointed when they don’t play two games in a row.
No-one is undroppable, as has always been the case. Everyone has to perform, not like you have unlimited credit.
