Carragher criticises ‘selfish’ Salah for comments about his Liverpool future | OneFootball

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher admits he was left “disappointed” by Mo Salah’s comments regarding his future after Sunday’s win over Southampton.

Salah, whose contract runs out at the end of this season, told NBC Sports that he was “probably more out than in” when asked about the chances of him remaining at the club and admitted he was disappointed that no contract offer had yet arrived.

But speaking on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, Carragher labelled the 32-year-old as “selfish” for publicly speculating about his future.

He said: “Right now there’s obviously a big difference in the valuation. What Mo Salah and his agent value themselves at, whether that’s financially or in terms of length of contract, to what Liverpool do.

“So the reason Liverpool wouldn’t have offered a contract yet is because Mo Salah will turn it down, so they’re still in talks. I’m desperate for them to meet in the middle, but I must say I am very disappointed with Mo Salah. That interview yesterday after the game and it comes out today.

“Liverpool have got Real Madrid midweek and they’ve got Manchester City at the weekend, that’s the story for Liverpool right now.

“Mo Salah, we’re all quite aware, certainly the local reporters are in Liverpool, that in the seven years he’s been at the football club he’s stopped in the mixed zone twice, which is his right, which is absolutely fine.

“But he decided to stop for the third time away at Southampton on the back of winning Liverpool the game and putting that out.

“Now the most important thing for Liverpool this season is not the future of Mo Salah, it’s not the future of Virgil van Dijk and it’s not the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

“The most important thing is Liverpool winning the Premier League. That is more important than any of those players, and if he continues to put comments out or his agent keeps putting cryptic tweets out, that’s selfish, that’s thinking about themselves and not the football club.”
