I thought I'm going to renew here and end my career here, but this is not according to the plan.' On transfer interest from the Saudi Pro League: 'I don’t want to answer this question, because the club is going to take me to a different direction.' ‘That’s the way I felt about it.’ Carragher also said Salah had ‘thrown his right-back under the bus’ ever since his £34m move from Roma in 2017. ‘The line that stands out for me is ‘thrown under the bus’,’ Carragher added. ‘He’s tried to throw the club under the bus twice in the last 12 months with the situations just mentioned. ‘Going after the owners initially, and these are owners who have been paying him hundreds of thousands of pounds for six years, he’s complained a year ago because they hadn’t given him a new contract at the age of 32.
Mohamed Salah criticised Liverpool manager Arne Slot (Picture: Getty) ‘But when I’ve thought about it over the weekend and I’ve put myself in Salah’s position or how I was as a player, I’m not Mo Salah. I wouldn’t put Salah alongside them but he’s very close for what he’s done for Liverpool. ‘He’s a legendary figure and all those players get a privilege.
Exactly the same one as Salah gets at Liverpool and that’s he doesn’t have to defend. he doesn’t have to chase back. ‘That’s what he has at Liverpool but when we are talking about throwing people under the bus, he’s thrown the Liverpool right back under the bus for eight years. I hope he plays for the club again but I don’t know if he will.’ Slot had already faced the media at Elland Road by the time Salah’s comments emerged but addressed the explosive interview at his pre-Inter Milan press conference on Monday evening.
