Mohamed Salah Defends Former Teammates After Bold Transfer Claims đłđ„
Liverpoolâs summer transfer business may have broken records, but Mohamed Salah is far from happy with how some fans are framing the story. The Egyptian superstar has spoken out after what he felt was blatant âdisrespectâ aimed at two players who gave their all in a title-winning season.
The drama unfolded after Liverpool sealed a British-record ÂŁ125m move for Alexander Isak, bringing their summer spending to over ÂŁ400m. Isak joined Florian Wirtz as part of Arne Slotâs major squad overhaul, with both big-money signings handed iconic shirt numbers previously worn by Luis DĂaz (7) and Darwin NĂșñez (9).
Thatâs where things got heated. đ
A Liverpool fan page posted a comparison graphic showing DĂaz and NĂșñez alongside their replacements, Wirtz and Isak, claiming this was âthe biggest upgrade in football history.â The statement quickly caught fire across social mediaâuntil Salah stepped in.
The forward reposted the graphic with a sharp message:
đ âHow about we celebrate the great signings without disrespecting the champions?â
It was a clear show of loyalty to his departed teammates, both of whom left Anfield with silverware to their namesâDĂaz heading to Bayern Munich and NĂșñez moving to Al-Hilal.
Meanwhile, expectations are sky-high for Liverpoolâs new arrivals. Isak is yet to train fully with his teammates after forcing his exit from Newcastle, while Wirtz is still adapting to life at Anfield. With the Reds set to return to Premier League action against Burnley on September 14, all eyes will be on whether the pair can live up to the hype.
But one thing is certain: Salahâs fiery response proves heâs not letting the legacies of his old teammates be written off so easily. âĄ
