Andy Robertson has described Mohamed Salah as the 'ultimate professional' amid ongoing uncertainty over the Egyptian's future at Liverpool. The left-back became the first teammate to speak publicly about the contract saga, insisting the squad is not distracted by the speculation.
Salah has just over six months remaining on his Anfield deal and is free to negotiate with foreign clubs from January. After Liverpool's win over Southampton, he stated that he has not been offered fresh terms, fuelling talk of a departure.
Speaking ahead of the Champions League clash with Real Madrid, Robertson said: 'For us as players it's nothing we can get involved in. All I can say is: look at Mo today, yesterday, he's the ultimate professional.' He added that the same applies to Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who are also in contract limbo.
However, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher criticised Salah's timing, calling his interview 'selfish'. Carragher told Sky Sports: 'The most important thing for Liverpool this season is winning the Premier League, not the future of Mo Salah. If he continues to put comments out, that's selfish.'
