Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, has slammed Mohamed Salah following comments on his contract negotiations.
Salah’s contract is set to expire in June 2025.
Speaking after scoring twice in a 3-2 victory at Southampton, the 32-year-old claimed there are no new offers from the Reds on the table.
The Egyptian international stated that he was “more out than in” and said he was “disappointed” in the club.
But Carragher, speaking on Monday Night Football, said: “Of course there’s been discussions. Right now, there’s obviously a big difference in valuation, how Salah and his agent value themselves, in terms of length of contract, and how Liverpool do.
“So the reason Liverpool wouldn’t have offered a contract yet is because Mo Salah will turn it down. They’re still in talks, I’m desperate for them to meet in the middle.
“But I must say, I am very disappointed with Mo Salah. That interview last night… Liverpool have Real Madrid in midweek and Manchester City next weekend. That’s the story for Liverpool right now.
“And Mo Salah, we’re aware – certainly the local reporters near the club – that in seven years he’s stopped in the mixed zone twice. That’s absolutely fine.
“But he stops for the third time away at Southampton on the back of winning Liverpool the game and putting that out.
“If he continues to put comments out or his agent continues to put cryptic tweets out, that is selfish. That’s thinking about themselves and not the football club.”
