Jamie Carragher can't resist response to Mo Salah blast despite being live on Sky Sports
Share:
Jamie Carragher has attempted to smooth things over with Mo Salah after the Liverpool star accused him of becoming 'obsessed' with him. Salah, 32, posted a cryptic image on social media after scoring his 21st goal of the season against Manchester United on Sunday. The photo contained three Liverpool players: himself, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk.
All three are out of contract at the end of this season, but the trio have behaved differently over the past few weeks. Salah firstly revealed in November that Liverpool hadn't offered him a new contract and has since gone on record to say that a new deal is still 'far away'.
Meanwhile, Carragher believes that Alexander-Arnold's camp had given Real Madrid the nod to make a bid on New Year's Eve, despite being able to sign him to a pre-contract 24 hours later. As for Van Dijk, Carragher has described him 'statesman-like' and suggested that Salah and Alexander-Arnold should behave more like their team-mate.
Salah responded to Carragher's claim by posting on X, formerly Twitter: "I'm starting to think you're obsessed with me," and added a winking emoji. Carragher responded while he was in the Sky Sports Monday Night Football studio covering high-flying Nottingham Forest's trip to Wolves, posting on social media: "I've always been obsessed with you. Hopefully that obsession will continue next season.".
Has Mo Salah talked too much about his future? Have your say in the comments section. The ex-Reds defender then said after Forest's 3-0 win on Sky Sports: "I mean, I have got a Mo Salah obsession. But I don't think it's the type of obsession he thinks it is. It's more of a footballing obsession and watching him in a red shirt.
