Liverpool ignited the transfer market. More than 520 million euros spent, stars like Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz who disembark … Enthusiasm is at its height in Anfield. Supporters are delighted with this new firepower, ready to forget the attackers of the past season. But this ambient euphoria has visibly annoyed one of the cloakrooms of the locker room. Mohamed Salah came out of his usual silence to publicly express his dissatisfaction.
Salah defends Núñez and DĂaz in front of the Mercato Euphoria
But the target of his wrath is not the one we believe. The Egyptian is not unhappy with new arrivals. He is furious at the way in which his former teammates are treated. It all started with a publication on X (formerly Twitter) of a big fans account, who welcomed the transfer window by comparing Isak to Darwin Núñez and Wirtz in Luis DĂaz, speaking of a
” improvement “ historical. A comparison that made Salah jump.
His scathing response gave the record straight: “What if we celebrated the superb signatures without disrespecting the Premier League champions?” ». The message is clear. Salah refuses to erase the work of those who brought the club to the top, like Núñez and DĂaz, both part of this summer. For him, recognition is more important than the excitement of the moment. It is a good and due reframing, a lesson of respect addressed to its own supporters.
A leader comes out of wood
This speaking is rare on the part of the Egyptian, usually very discreet. It shows its status as a real boss of the locker room. He is not content to score goals, he is also the goalkeeper of the club's values. He knows that last season, the title was won thanks to a collective, and he does not accept that certain members of this collective are today disparaged to make room for the new ones.
This release is also a message sent to new recruits. When you arrive in Liverpool, you don't only integrate a team, we inherit a story. Salah reminded them, and to everyone, that respect for the past is the first condition for building the future. A leading position, which proves, if necessary, that the real boss of Anfield is him.
