Liverpool have to sell Mohamed Salah at the end of this season for a key reason, according to former Netherlands midfielder Rafael van der Vaart. It has been a season of toil for the Egyptian overall, and speaking to Sky Bet [via Caught Offside], Van der Vaart said this summer is time for him to leave, not least because he is proving to be a distraction: “When I look at Mohammed Salah and the position he plays on the pitch, he has lost that extra half yard and the pace is gone with age.

There were games he performed not at his best and everyone writes him off, but over a full season, even at this age, he shows everyone how good he is. “When you expect certain things as a coach from him, and he doesn’t do it, then of course you have the right to put him on the bench, but because it’s Mohamed Salah, this can cause a massive issue – in every press conference every question will be on Salah.

It could be best for both sides if Salah goes somewhere else in the summer.” A Mo Salah summer exit feels more likely by the week Salah was superb in the FA Cup victory over Brighton, but he reverted to the norm of this season against Forest, not getting anything out of former Liverpool defender Neco Williams. He has accumulated over 30,000 followers on Twitter/X.
