Jamie Carragher is a Liverpool ’soldier’. His entire career was with one club—17 seasons at Anfield and over 500 appearances for the Reds. As someone so devoted to one of the biggest English and European clubs, he finds it difficult to stay indifferent to the unresolved situation between Mohamed Salah and Liverpool regarding a new contract, no matter how much the club resists bowing to the Egyptian’s demands for a deal longer than two years. It’s been a month and a half since Carragher, in his role as a pundit for Sky Sports, ranked Salah among the top five players in Liverpool’s history. At the same time, he expressed disappointment that Salah is using the public sphere to pressure the club, seemingly without considering the higher goals that transcend individual interests—or so Carragher believes.I’ve always been obsessed with you @MoSalah hopefully that obsession will continue next season 🤞🏻😜 https://t.co/5hVQVxhRxb— Jamie Carragher (@Carra23) January 6, 2025 The Premier League’s current top scorer is carrying Liverpool on his back on all fronts. He’s the team’s most influential player and, as such, has been a central topic of discussion in English media since the start of the 2024/25 season. Every move, every gesture from the Pharaoh is scrutinized and analyzed. His Instagram post featuring a photo of himself, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk on the pitch sparked fresh controversy, once again catching Carragher’s attention. There would be nothing unusual about the post if not for the fact that it includes three players whose contracts expire in six months, none of whom are close to signing a new deal. Carragher initially refrained from delving too deeply into the matter, but the situation soon drew him in.Salah: ‘It’s my last year in the club’“You know what I’d say. I’d say that Virgil van Dijk has managed to rise above this entire situation as the club captain who demonstrates greater respect… The way he has conducted himself, the way he’s performed on the pitch, and how he’s led the team…” Carragher said and then aimed his criticism at Salah and Trent: “They’ve questioned him, yet he’s always there—there to win the league and do everything he can for Liverpool. I can only cross my fingers and pray he signs a new contract. But I think the other two could take a look at Van Dijk and follow his example.” Salah, unsurprisingly, wasn’t untouched by Carragher’s public comments. The Egyptian shared them on Twitter with the caption, “I’m starting to think you’re obsessed with me.” Jamie, being Jamie, rarely holds back. “I’ve always been obsessed with you, and I hope this obsession continues next season,” Carragher replied, adding a few emojis.Trent told Real to bid for him, claims former Liverpool legendSalah has publicly stated several times this season that, as things currently stand, this will be his last year at Liverpool. Following his most recent declaration, he scored a goal against Manchester United at Anfield, but the Reds failed to win the match in which they were heavy favorites. Some believe that statements like Salah’s, along with the resulting disruption to the team’s atmosphere, are why Liverpool might not win the English championship this season—even though they are well on their way.##NAJAVA_MECA_8617638##
