Mohamed Salah has publicly criticized Liverpool fans for "disrespecting" the club's 2024-25 Premier League title-winning squad following a social media post. The controversy arose after a fan account posted a picture comparing Liverpool’s new signings Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez to recent acquisitions Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, captioned as “Name a bigger upgrade in footballing history.” Salah quote-tweeted this with a call to celebrate the new signings without undermining the champions, emphasizing respect for the title-winning team.
Despite the criticism, Salah has shown personal respect and affection for former teammates Diaz and Nunez, posting tributes to them when their transfers were confirmed. He acknowledged Nunez as a valuable friend and teammate who brought positive energy to the squad.
The summer transfer window saw Liverpool spend heavily, highlighted by the £125 million signing of Alexander Isak. Nevertheless, Salah remains firm in defending the achievements of the current champions against any perceived disrespect online.
This episode reflects ongoing tensions around perceptions of squad changes and player legacies within Liverpool and among its supporters.
Earlier incidents highlight Salah's complex relationships at Liverpool; for instance, in 2020, Salah was reportedly “disrespected” by some teammates over captaincy decisions during a Champions League tie, though those issues were later resolved internally. Salah remains a pivotal figure in Liverpool’s attack and history, celebrated for his goal-scoring and role in major trophies like the 2019 Champions League and 2020 Premier League titles.
