Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha is surprised that Mo Salah has stayed at Liverpool.
With the end of the transfer window closing in, there is little suggestion that the Egyptian forward will quit Anfield, despite last year’s rumours that he would join the Saudi Pro League.
Instead, Salah is starting the season with new manager Arne Slot, and seems content despite some late-campaign grumbles with Jurgen Klopp in 2024.
Saha told Paddy Power: “I’m a bit surprised that Mo Salah is still at Liverpool - I don’t know what his wish is.
“He’s done tremendously well for the club, and he’s done his best every time and will always get around 20 goals a season and get you close to finals and trophies. At some point, those players will want to try new things and we’ve seen Salah’s attitude towards the club.
“It seems that it’s not always aligned between Salah and the club or the manager but he’s still there and playing with a smile on his face. He’s very motivated with a lot of emotion and that’s what we want to see in the Premier League.
“I want him to stay there and keep that competition with the clubs at the top. Salah will be up there with Erling Haaland, but while he’s here, we should enjoy it.
“I’m sure his options will be open, if he wants to leave, he’ll leave and if he wants to stay Liverpool will be happy to keep him.”
