Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has labelled Mohamed Salah the most selfish player he's ever seen and believes the Egyptian will leave Anfield this summer.
Speculation has grown over Salah's future after the Liverpool forward's on-field spat with Jurgen Klopp last weekend. He was the subject of huge interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia last summer and there is a growing feeling that Salah could make the move to the Middle East in the close season.
Speaking on William Hill’s new podcast, Three Up Front, Souness discussed the Reds' number eleven and thinks the 'selfish' superstar will say goodbye to Merseyside.
“I believe Mohamed Salah is off and leaving Liverpool," Souness said.
"He has been fabulous for Liverpool, but if he leaves for the Saudi Pro League then he’ll be the biggest star in that part of the world. He no doubt has an exceptionally large opinion of himself, and he’ll have been angry at not starting the game against West Ham last week. I think the situation with Jürgen Klopp was a reaction to only being brought on with 10 minutes to go – it was more Salah than it was Klopp in that confrontation.
“Salah is the most selfish player I have ever witnessed. Even prior to that game, whenever Klopp takes him off, he is never happy about it. That is what you want from your players, if you take them off on two goals, they should want to stay on to score a third. When Sadio Mané was there they’d fall out all the time.
“Salah has been world class in his time at Liverpool. Goals change games and his goals have had an enormous influence on Liverpool since he’s been at the club. I think he still gets into the Arsenal team and certainly would’ve gotten into the Manchester City team over the past five years.”
