Following Mohamed Salah’s shocking remark regarding his contract negotiations coming to a standstill, Jamie Carragher has taken aim at the Liverpool star.
According to him, Liverpool executives have not made any additional offers to extend the Egyptian’s contract, which is slated to expire at the conclusion of current season.
After scoring twice in the 3-2 victory at Southampton, the 32-year-old attacker gave a rare interview to Mail Sport and a select number of media, criticizing the team and saying he was “more out than in.”Speaking on Monday Night Football, Carragher also called the Egyptian’s remarks “selfish.”
“Of course, there have been discussions,” Carragher stated. There is currently a clear disparity between Liverpool’s and Salah’s valuations, both in terms of contract length and how Salah and his agent view themselves.
Liverpool hasn’t made a contract offer yet because they know Mo Salah will decline. They’re still negotiating, and I’m hoping they can come to an amicable agreement.However, I have to admit that Mo Salah has let me down. Last night’s interview… Liverpool will play Manchester City the next weekend and Real Madrid in the middle of the week. That’s Liverpool’s current situation.
And Mo Salah, we know—at least the local reporters by the club—that he has been stopped twice in the mixed zone in the last seven years. That’s perfectly OK.
However, after winning the game against Liverpool and putting that out, he stops for the third time away at Southampton.
It is self-centered of him to keep posting comments or for his agency to keep posting mysterious tweets. That’s considering themselves rather than the football team.
In 2023, Liverpool rejected a potential £150 million offer from Saudi Arabian company Al-Ittihad, according to Mail Sport. The club offered a staggering tax-free wage of £1.25 million per week, which the Reds were unable to match on that particular occasion.
‘We are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers to stay in the club yet,’ Salah revealed on Sunday in response to his contract dispute.
I think I’m more out than in. I have been a member of the club for many years, as you are aware.
“No club like this exists.” However, I have no control over it in the end. As I previously stated, December has arrived and I have yet to receive any information regarding my future.
“I adore the fans.” I am adored by the fans. Ultimately, neither the fans nor I have control over it.
Fuming Following Salah’s disclosure, Liverpool fans called the club’s owners “embarrassing” and “unforgivable.”
Salah has scored 12 goals in 18 appearances across all competitions this season under new boss Arne Slot, but he has put his future on Merseyside in jeopardy.
Salah was the hero on the south coast as Liverpool overcame a deficit to defeat Southampton 3-2 on Sunday, increasing their lead at the top of the table to eight points.
