Liverpool have to cash in Mohamed Salah once the transfer window reopens next month – he has spoiled his legacy at Anfield.<\/p>\n

That’s the bold view of ex-Reds striker Dean Saunders, who has also implored the 33-year-old to apologise over his bombshell outburst<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media after the 3-3 draw at Leeds over the weekend – in which Salah<\/a> was benched for a third game running – he hit out at Arne Slot and the board.<\/p>\n

The Egypt international accused the Merseyside outfit of throwing him under the bus, claimed someone at the club wanted him gone, while stating he had no relationship with Slot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Salah has been subject to criticism over his explosive admission<\/a>, with his comments seeing him omitted from Liverpool’s travelling squad that beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

And while he is the club’s all-time top Premier League scorer with 188 goals, Saunders believes now is the time for ties to be cut.<\/p>\n

It’s Sal over<\/p>\n

Speaking on The Sports Bar, Saunders said: “Even before this game, I think they’ve got to sell him now.<\/p>\n

“Even though I was saying, ‘If you sign Mo Salah, it’ll send a message out to the world that you mean business.’<\/p>\n

“It’s gone pear-shaped, and I think right now, he’s made a decision I’m either going to get him sacked, or I’m off.’<\/p>\n

“So, he’s 33, rather than waiting around like Manchester United done with [Jadon] Sancho for an apology, and it ended up he was sat in the reserves for six months.<\/p>\n

“Either get rid of him, or he apologises and Liverpool move forward.”<\/p>\n

Saunders also conceded that while he finds it difficult to criticise a player that has given the club so many golden moments, ultimately, no-one is bigger than the club.<\/p>\n

He remarked: “He’s obviously wrong, what he’s done, and I find it difficult to have a go at Mo Salah because he is an unbelievable footballer, a legend.<\/p>\n

“But we’ve seen signs of it in the past, and this week, what he’s done, he’s had a couple of days now.<\/p>\n

“His agent must have had a word with him, and had a look at the reaction to what he said.<\/p>\n

“All he’s got to do is come out and apologise, because what he said was totally wrong.<\/p>\n

“He came out and said, ‘I’ve done a lot for this club,’ when you play for Liverpool, it’s a privilege to play for Liverpool.<\/p>\n

“I don’t care who you are, because Billy Liddell in the 50s, Billy Liddell, Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, have all done the same as Mo Salah.<\/p>\n

“And it’s a privilege to play for the club, you can’t come out and say the things he said.<\/p>\n

“And if I was his agent now, or anybody in his family, I’d say, ‘Just apologise and say you had the hump, just say you had the hump after the game.<\/p>\n

“‘You’re emotional and you’ve come out and said something which you shouldn’t have said.’<\/p>\n

“He’s spoiled his legacy at the club.”<\/p>\n

Liverpool will now turn their attention to a clash with Brighton at Anfield on Saturday.<\/p>\n

But it remains to be seen whether Salah will be recalled back to the squad – despite the player working on his fitness in the absence of his teammates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Salah will then fly off to Morocco to represent Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations. <\/p>\n

The player could be away from Merseyside until after January 18, which is when the final takes place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool have to cash in Mohamed Salah once the transfer window reopens next month – he has spoiled…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":336557,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[23970,49,48,568,147792,23975,1417,147791,147790,35416,82],"class_list":["post-336556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-arne-slot","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-champions-league","tag-dean-saunders","tag-inter-milan","tag-liverpool","tag-liverpool-vs-inter-milan","tag-mo-salah","tag-mohamed-salah","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/336556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=336556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/336556\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/336557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=336556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=336556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=336556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
