It's a great deal for everybody; it works for everyone."Neville countered: "I get that, I'm not saying it's not sweet for everyone that Liverpool can spend the money elsewhere on different players next season, that Mo Salah can change his career."I just feel that Mo Salah, I would have thought that him, wanting the two-year deal, I would have expected him to say, 'No, I'm going to hang in there' — probably.Mohamed Salah has confirmed that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season(Image: Getty Images)"He must think it's gone really badly, is what I'm saying.
