Jamie Carragher has urged Mohamed Salah to reconsider any immediate departure from Liverpool for Saudi Arabia, advocating for the Egypt international to secure a fitting Anfield send-off.
Carragher recently criticised Salah for claiming he was "thrown under a bus" by manager Arne Slot and believes the forward is unlikely to remain at the club beyond next season. But he implored the Egyptian to set aside his differences with Slot and return from the Africa Cup of Nations at the end of January, thereby preserving his legacy.
“I don’t see Mo Salah playing for Liverpool next season,” Carragher told Sky Sports. “If he’s thinking of moving on, I would urge him to think again. Liverpool in the second half of the season could get to the FA Cup final, the Champions League final. Can you imagine Mo Salah in Saudi watching Liverpool come out in Budapest in the Champions League final?”
Salah was left out for Liverpool’s midweek win at Inter Milan following his outburst but returned in Saturday’s victory over Brighton and applauded the Anfield fans after the game.
Carragher added: “He deserves a guard of honour, he deserves a mosaic in the Kop. He deserves to bring his wife and kids on the pitch in his last game. So put your differences with the manager aside for four months and get this great big send-off.”
