“It is a good time for him to move on” – Jose Enrique says Liverpool should cash-in on Reds superstar
Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique has suggested that the club should consider selling their star player Mohamed Salah at the end of the season.
He expressed this opinion in response to a fan who advised retaining the Egyptian winger in a post about a potential £71.2 million transfer to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Despite Salah signing a new contract with Liverpool in the summer, his performances have dropped this season. However, the club's supporters may disagree with Enrique's suggestion, as Salah has become a legendary figure at the club since joining in 2016.
Despite what may be considered to be a less successful season, Salah still leads the team with 17 goals in all competitions. This shows that he is still a valuable asset to the team. However, this hasn't stopped Enrique, who is still adamant that if PSG make an offer, Liverpool should consider selling Salah this summer.
The former Red stated on Twitter (via HITC):
“He [Mohamed Salah] is a legend, one of the biggest legends of LFC [Liverpool] and no one can take that from him but I believe maybe [it is a] is good time for him to move on and for us as well."
Although Salah hasn't performed to his usual world-class standards this season, his lack of form can also be attributed to the team's overall poor performances. The Reds are ninth in the Premier League table, 10 points behind fourth-placed Manchester United with a game in hand.
Darwin Nunez discusses life at Liverpool since his move
Darwin Nunez has certainly made his mark in his brief stint with Liverpool since joining last summer from Benfica for a club-record €100 million.
Since his arrival, he has already experienced a gamut of emotions on the field. He has scored goals, missed opportunities, and was even sent off for violent conduct in just his first two games.
The forward sat with Sky Sports to discuss his start to the season, and said:
"It's a very big change. Here, the league is stronger, more competitive. I didn't expect it to be so strong. Nico Otamendi [the former Manchester City defender and his team-mate at Benfica] told me that, but I still didn't expect it."
He added:
"It has impressed me a lot. There are no bad teams. They are all in this league for a reason. The football is more difficult than in Portugal and more competitive. You don't get much time."
Nunez has scored 10 goals and provided three assists in 25 games across competitions for the Reds this season.
