It has been a sensational week for Liverpool.
On Wednesday, he topped the Premier League after beating Tottenham thanks to a last minute from Roberto Firmino.
Jurgen Klopp’s team then faced a difficult-looking trip to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace on Saturday lunchtime. They came out with an incredible 7-0 victory.
They then watched as their previous closest title rivals, the Spurs, lost again to Leicester.
It means that they are currently four points clear at the top, although Manchester United could reduce that advantage to just two points if they win the game in hand.
Then on Sunday night Liverpool claimed the ‘Team of the Year’ award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year ceremony. Jurgen Klopp picked up the ‘Coach of the Year’, while Jordan Henderson came second in the main award.
You can look forward to your Boxing Day match against West Brom without any worries then… right?
Incorrect.
That’s because a close friend of Mohamed Salah opened up his play and made some rather disturbing comments.
On the morning of Liverpool’s clash with Crystal Palace, an interview that Salah gave to the Spanish publication AS emerged in which the Egyptian refused to rule out a signing for Real Madrid or Barcelona in the future. He also admitted that he was disappointed that he was not named captain against FC Midtjylland in a recent Champions League tie.
And now, his friend and former international teammate Mohamed Aboutrika has revealed the conversation he recently had with the Liverpool star.
“I called Salah about his situation in Liverpool and he is upset, but that would never affect his performance on the pitch,” Aboutrika told beIN Sports.
I know Salah is not happy in Liverpool, he told me the reasons why he is not happy but they are secret and I cannot talk about it in public. One of the reasons Salah infuriated was that he was not the captain against Midtjylland.
“If Salah were a Real Madrid or Barcelona player, and played at the same level as Liverpool, he would have won the Ballon d’Or, and it is normal for a Spanish newspaper to ask Salah about Real Madrid and Barcelona.
“In my opinion Liverpool are considering selling Salah for financial reasons.
“I have no influence on Salah’s decisions, he is my friend and brother, and he is smart enough to know what is best for him.”
Wow.
Of course, Aboutrika could be trying to make headlines and is not telling the truth.
But after the interview with AS and now this in the space of a few days, it seems that Salah’s future is definitely a cause for concern for Liverpool.
