There has been a talent drain.It is a genuine concern that, with the exit of the all-time greats, the Premier League will be missing world class talent.Salah has always been able to get fans off their seats with his incredible control, skill and balance. Well, it is impossible to level that accusation against Salah.Liverpool have been City’s closest challengers for the majority of Pep Guardiola’s reign and it has been Salah who has delivered big goals, big moments and match winning perfection.His greatest goal was surely in October 2021 against City in a 2-2 draw when Salah twisted and turned, dribbled past defenders and then smashed a shot past Ederson at his near post.That deserved to be Goal of the Season.
He has won the Football Writers’ Association’s Footballer of the Year award record-equalling three times, shared with Arsenal legend Henry.His latest was for 2024/25 when he was the best player by far, his brilliance steered Liverpool to another title and then there was an almighty clamour to give him one more contract.His rise from poverty in Egypt is a fabulous story. Even though Salah has had his best days, his legacy and success at Liverpool still mean he earned the right to choose his goodbye.
