Concerns Grow Over Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool Future
Jamie Carragher has expressed uncertainty about Mohamed Salah’s continuation at Liverpool, indicating he finds it hard to believe the Egyptian forward will remain with the team next season.
During a detailed conversation about Liverpool’s current circumstances, the former defender suggested that the upcoming months could significantly impact Salah’s legacy at Anfield and influence the future direction of the club amidst increasing pressure.
Salah has recently been at the center of controversy after raising concerns about his treatment by manager Arne Slot, even alleging that someone within the organization is undermining him.
After being benched for three games, Salah openly shared his frustrations regarding the situation. Following discussions with the club, he returned to play as a substitute against Brighton.
Carragher Predicts Salah’s Departure
Carragher believes it is unlikely that Salah will be part of Liverpool next season.
“I don’t see Mohamed Salah playing for Liverpool next season,” Carragher commented on Sky Sports.
“The key question is whether we will see Mo Salah during the rest of this season. He is heading to the Africa Cup of Nations, which concludes in mid-January.”
Carragher also ruled out the possibility of a sentimental transfer to a European club.
“Mo Salah is not going to leave Liverpool to join Barcelona or Real Madrid; I’m mentioning interest from the Saudi League instead.”
As Salah prepares for the Africa Cup of Nations, speculation regarding his future has intensified. The 33-year-old is set to miss crucial matches for Liverpool at a pivotal point in the season, which adds pressure on manager Arne Slot.
Carragher indicated that a blend of international duties, existing tension within the club, and heightened foreign interest could all lead to a significant change.
He remarked: “Liverpool could find themselves in an FA Cup final or a Champions League final during the second half of the season… Picture Mo Salah in Saudi Arabia watching Liverpool compete in a Champions League final.”
Strategic Considerations for Liverpool Ahead
Liverpool’s management is facing crucial decisions in the upcoming year.
