Mo Salah hits back at Jamie Carragher with ‘obsessed’ remark | OneFootball

Mo Salah says that Jamie Carragher is “obsessed” with him over his contract situation at Liverpool – and the pundit agrees with him.

The Egyptian winger last week suggested that this will be his final season at Anfield as his contract expires in the summer, adding that there has been no progress on a new deal.

Salah posted a cryptic Instagram photo of himself, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk – all of whom are in the final months of their current deals – following Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United.

Carragher gave his reaction to the social media post on Monday, stating that Salah and Alexander-Arnold should follow their captain’s lead.

“You know what I would say? I would say Virgil van Dijk has come out of this whole situation this season, as the captain of the club, in a higher esteem,” the ex-Liverpool defender told Sky Sports.

“The way he’s conducted himself, his performances on the pitch, the way he’s led the team, the way he was yesterday as well, and he hasn’t got involved in too much around this.

“It’s obviously a really important time for all three players, we know that, but I think rather than speak about Trent Alexander-Arnold or Mo Salah, I’d probably like to pay tribute to Virgil van Dijk. I think he’s come across as a real statesman with the way he’s handled it.

“He’s been asked questions, he’s knocked it away, he’s here to win the league, he wants to do his utmost for Liverpool, and fingers crossed he signs. I think the other two could maybe look at Virgil van Dijk and take a leaf out of his book.”

Salah gave his response to those comments by tweeting: “I’m starting to think you’re obsessed with me” following by a winking emoji.

Carragher issued an honest reply, posting that he’s “always been obsessed” with the 32-year-old and “hopefully that obsession will continue next season”.
