Liverpool can’t afford to let Salah go now – Jamie Carragher
Liverpool legend and former captain, Jamie Carragher, is expecting Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah to remain at Anfield for the next few years despite reported interests from Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old arrived at the Merseyside from Roma in June last year for his second spell in the English Premier League after an underperforming two-year stay at Chelsea.
With 28 goals in 34 appearances across all competitions for Jurgen Klopp’s men this season, Salah has been a transfer target for Real Madrid and some other top clubs in Europe.
And Carragher has come out to say that the Reds cannot afford to lose 2017 African Player of the Year immediately after Philippe Coutinho’s exit to Barcelona in January.
“He’s only just arrived and he is doing well and we want to enjoy him for as long as we can,” Carragher told talkSport.
There’s no doubt he is a good player, and that’s why the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid are after him.
“Let’s not forget [Cristiano] Ronaldo when he was possibly the best player in the world left Manchester United; he left when Manchester United was still playing European Cup finals.
“It’s very difficult, and sometimes you have to sort of just accept it and try and get the biggest fee you can possibly get – as Liverpool did with Coutinho.
“I’d expect Salah to be at the club for the next few years. The contract that he signed and the position Liverpool are in with Coutinho going, they can’t afford to let another big name player go.”
