Liverpool urged to sell Real Madrid target Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah has been one of Liverpool’s standout players the last few seasons, but former Reds goalkeeper David James believes the Egyptian should be sold. James has urged Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to cash in on the forward this summer.
He told Stadium Astro:
“I think Liverpool actually play better without Salah. The opportunity for Liverpool to maybe cash in on Salah… as you say, [Diogo] Jota then naturally fits into that front three, [Roberto] Firmino gets more freedom arguably. Then Liverpool have a new dynamic up front rather than what seems to be a reliance, or has been a reliance, on Salah’s goals.”
When asked if Liverpool should listen to offers for Mohamed Salah, James said:
“Yeah, tomorrow. I’d do it now. This is not about Mo Salah not being a good player, his goal record speaks for itself.
“Similar in statistics to someone like [Sergio] Aguero, where Pep Guardiola can look at Man City and not need Aguero. I think Liverpool’s fluidity is compromised by Salah, even though he scores.”
Salah scored 22 goals in 37 appearances for Liverpool in the Premier League last season.
