Liverpool Consider Selling Mohamed Salah
JAKARTA - Mohamed Salah is claimed to be unhappy at Liverpool and the Reds are considering selling the Egyptian player. This was revealed by his former colleague in the Egyptian national team, Mohamed Aboutrika.
Aboutrika said the 28-year-old was extremely frustrated at not capturing his recent Champions League tie against FC Midtjylland, although there appear to be other reasons why he is nervous at Anfield.
"I called Salah about the situation at Liverpool and he was upset, but it will never affect his performance on the pitch," Aboutrika told beIN Sports.
"I know Salah is unhappy at Liverpool, he told me the reason why he was unhappy, but it's a secret and I can't talk about it in public. One of the reasons that makes Salah angry is that he was not captain against Midtjylland."
Salah publicly expressed frustration at not being given the armband against Midtjylland, telling the United States he was "deeply disappointed" by the decision.
The former Roma and Chelsea forward was hoping to captain the team's most experienced player, but the armband was instead awarded to 22-year-old defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Salah played off the bench as Liverpool crushed Crystal Palace 7-0 on Saturday, although Reds coach Jurgen Klopp argued that he only gave Salah a break after this season's busy schedule. However, Salah scored two goals in that match.
In the same interview, Salah also emphasized his admiration for Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two clubs he has often been linked to.
Aboutrika hopes her friend and former teammate will make a move to one of the Spanish giants one day. He believes Liverpool will find a big money offer that is too good to turn down.
"If Salah was a player at Real Madrid or Barcelona, and played at the same level as Liverpool, he would win the Ballon d'Or, and it is normal for a Spanish newspaper to ask Salah about Real Madrid and Barcelona," he added. the 42 year old man.
In my opinion, Liverpool is considering selling Salah economically.
"I have no influence over Salah's decision, he is my friend and brother and he is smart enough to know what is best for him."
