MOHAMED SALAH CAN PLAN LIVERPOOL GOODBYE AS MAN CITY SHOULD BE WORRIED BY NO CHANGE
If Liverpool really do part ways with Mohamed Salah next summer, the Egyptian will want to ensure the perfect send-off. That’s bad news for Manchester City.
Last summer, it seemed that Liverpool as we knew it was perfectly poised for a ‘last dance’. Even then, it was clear that the legendary triumvirate that has become synonymous with the Jürgen Klopp era was unlikely to last beyond the end of the season. An historic quadruple was nearly the perfect send-off, but completing the overall set of trophies was nonetheless a fitting end.
Football, however, is unrelenting. Liverpool can wallow in clips of Sadio Mané and his best link-ups with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino for a few days, but his replacement is already through the door. In truth, Firmino is also well on the way to being phased out, even though he will remain a part of the squad for one more season.
Of the famous ‘fab three’, then, it is only Salah who looks set to play an integral role in 2022/23. And with his contract expiring at the end of the season, and no sign of a breakthrough, he could be primed to deliver a personal swansong: something that should send shivers down Manchester City spines.
