Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian King, continues to reign supreme at Liverpool.
In an era of astronomical transfer fees and lucrative offers, Liverpool’s steadfast decision to retain Salah has proven to be a masterstroke that goes beyond the realm of finances.The narrative surrounding Salah’s potential departure to Saudi Arabia for a colossal sum of money had intrigued football enthusiasts and pundits alike. It raised questions about the club’s financial strategy and how they could benefit from such a deal. Yet, Liverpool’s unwavering commitment to keeping Salah was not solely driven by financial considerations; it was founded on his extraordinary ability to deliver when it matters most.
“People were questioning why Liverpool didn’t sell him to Saudi Arabia when they were offered so much money. People were saying you could buy two great payers with that.”
“But the reason why they kept him was because of games like Everton, Salah scores goals and wins games, and wins games when they don’t play very well.”
“He’s breaking records in every place, he will go down as one of Liverpool’s greatest players. When he came from Roma and had that failed time at Chelsea under his belt, people thought he was just a wide player and couldn’t do much.”
“Instead what he’s done is become one of the best players that the Premier League has ever seen.”

Even when Liverpool’s performance is not at its peak, Salah has a remarkable knack for finding the back of the net and securing crucial victories. His goals have been the difference-makers in countless fixtures, lifting Liverpool to victory when their play might have been less than stellar.
