Jamie Carragher makes Liverpool legacy warning clear to Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah would damage his Liverpool legacy if he were to leave the club in the summer transfer window, according to Jamie Carragher.

Salah is currently under contract with Liverpool until June 2023 and his long-term future on Merseyside has been the subject of intense speculation all season, with Barcelona and Real Madrid both interested in his services. The Egypt international and his representatives have been locked in negotiations with Liverpool for many months over extending his deal.

The 29-year-old, who has scored 28 goals in 38 games so far this season, has previously rejected new terms which would have seen him earning £400,000 a week. However, as the Mirror exclusively revealed , he has now had a change of mind and intends to put pen to paper on a fresh contract.

Having initially demanded close to £500,000 per week, Salah is now ready to compromise and commit his future to the club he has played for since a transfer from Roma in June 2017. Former Liverpool defender Carragher believes that is the best course of action for Salah, who would risk becoming another Fernando Torres if he left this summer.

“I still think Mo Salah will sign a new contract,” Carragher said on Sky Sports. “Liverpool is the best place for him, he became a superstar at Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp brings out the best in him. It wouldn't be a sensible move for him to leave.

“The football he's playing now, he's playing for one of the best managers in the world, one of the best teams in the world, what he's done over the last five years makes him one of the best players to ever wear a Liverpool shirt.

“I just think it would be sad if he were to move on, maybe to a rival in this country, he'd lose his legacy at Liverpool. You look
