Mohamed Salah was in good spirits in training on Tuesday, according to Andy Robertson, despite the bombshell dropped by the Egyptian player.
The contract bomb dropped by Salah may have been brushed aside by Arne Slot, but it served to prove just how far apart the two sides are in contract negotiations. “I have not yet received any offers to stay at the club”Salah declared after scoring a double in Liverpool's victory against Southampton. “I'm probably more on the outside than I am on the inside. »
The 32-year-old was criticized for his comments, with Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher calling him a” self-centered “, but these comments do not seem to have had an impact on Salah or the locker room. In a press conference ahead of the Champions League match against Real Madrid, Robertson said Salah was “one of the happiest people” at the club's training center on Tuesday.
“Salah works hard”
“He didn’t look sad!” Mo comes to training every day with a smile, he's in the gym and working as hard as ever, he's on the training pitch and working as hard as ever”said Robertson.
“In that sense, he’s one of the happiest people on the training pitch, that’s for sure. He enjoys every moment he spends there. You can see it. If you can find me a photo from today's training where he looks sad, that's normal! But he looks happy at all times. He is such a focused individual that he will probably be at home right now, focused on tomorrow night. That's the main thing. That's what all good players do, that's what all the best in the world do – and Mo is certainly in that category. »
The Red Devils will look to claim their fifth win in five in Europe when they host defending champions Real Madrid on Wednesday in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
