Liverpool's Signing Of Luis Diaz Would Be 'Biggest Disgrace Ever' IF It Leads To Mohamed Salah's Exit

That is according to Paul Merson, who says it “would be absolutely mind-blowing” if Liverpool allowed Salah to leave the club after his incredible impact.

The Egypt captain has registered nine assists and scored an impressive 23 times in 26 appearances for Liverpool this season.

Salah is considered the best player in the world right now, with the winger leading Liverpool teammate Diogo Jota in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot.

However, Sky Sports pundit Merson is worried that the 25-year-old Colombian winger’s signing could mark the end of Salah’s time at Anfield.

“It took them 30 years to get back to being a force, to dominating teams again, to winning big trophies and having that reputation.

“To get to that point and let the best player in the world go would be absolutely mind-blowing.

“I don’t care how much he wants. He’s the best player in the world! And these fans have waited and waited for success like this. Pay him what he wants.

“This is Liverpool football club. The owner wouldn’t think twice about paying his star pitcher at the Boston Red Sox big money. What makes Salah any different?

“No-one scores goals like Salah does. He plays on the wing but he puts up the kind of figures other players can only dream of. He looks like scoring every game he plays.

“It doesn’t matter how good Diaz is. He’s not going to put up the sort of figures Salah does. Absolutely not.

“And if you’re Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool let Salah go, what message does that send you? You’ve turned him into the best in the world and just let him go? I’d be so disappointed.”
