Milos Kerkez has admitted he is already feeling the emotional weight of Mohamed Salah’s expected Liverpool exit, despite only just arriving at Anfield himself.The Hungarian left-back has settled into life on Merseyside after a difficult start, forming a close bond with senior figures in the squad, none more so than Salah. But with the Egyptian now heading towards the end of his Liverpool journey, Kerkez revealed after Wednesday’s 2-0 loss against Paris Saint-Germain that it is a situation he is struggling to come to terms with.

So yeah, it’s a bit sad, but I’m just going to enjoy this one and a half, two months with him and yeah, then I’m going to wish him good luck for whatever he chooses next.”Photo by Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty ImagesREAD MORE: Ibrahima Konate wants the Premier League to change their rules after Liverpool lose to PSGKerkez’s comments feel particularly poignant in the wake of Liverpool’s defeat to PSG, where Salah cut a frustrated figure on a night when the Reds struggled to impose themselves.For a new arrival like Kerkez, moments like these only underline just how influential Salah remains in the Reds dressing room.

The 33-year-old has long been one of Liverpool’s driving forces, and despite his declining impact on the pitch, his presence is clearly being felt by those who have only recently walked through the door.That sense of loss is already creeping in. Kerkez hasn’t had years alongside Salah, just months, and yet the impact has been immediate.With Liverpool now facing a crucial final stretch of the season, the focus will be on ending Salah’s time at the club on a high.
