Mohamed Salah is having a fine stay over at Liverpool and most believe he has little to no reason to leave The Reds. However, that will not exclude him from Premier League transfer rumors - regardless if they are true or not. Under normal circumstances, players who are placed in a spot would shrug it off. That is what the Egyptian footballer practically did.
The 27-year-old responded to a recent graphic put up by Sky Sport and even asked his fans for their opinion. The post read "keep or sell?" with Salah ending up responding with some laughing emojis. And while it seemed that he was taking it more as a joke, it does irk him in a way. Considering he is taking big strides with The Reds and racking up individual accolades one after the other, seeing his name in the center of transfer talks was a bit puzzling.
The same feeling was shared by his agent, Ramy Abbas. The insinuations of Salah moving out of Liverpool simply made no sense. In response to the graphic, the agent detailed what his client has already achieved and done for the team.
"This season M. Salah is the team’s top scorer in both the Premier League and the Champions League," Abbas said.
"Since joining Liverpool FC in 2017, M. Salah has missed out on zero Golden Boots....and he's not a CF," he added.
Backing up Abbas' claims is the fact that Salah has been having another fine season before play was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He has scored 91 goals in 144 appearances dating back to 2017 and has won the Golden Boot in back-to-back seasons. Also, he has been a key man for Jurgen Klopp when they won the Champions League last season. Given his value to Liverpool, it made no sense to even think that he was on the way out.
Another title beckons Liverpool this season if they stay the course. There have already been suggestions that The Reds should be handed the trophy. They hold a wide 25 point lead over their nearest adversary in Manchester City. Regardless of what happens, Salah and Liverpool seem destined to win it all once more.
Salah is considered one of the inspirations to aspiring footballers, particularly the ones with Arabic descent. He is one of few Egyptians to garner success on the football field, the others being Mido and Mohammed Zian. At 27, there is a whole lot of things ahead for Salah. And from the looks of it, most will be done while he is a Red.
