Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has sparked massive controversy after delivering a brutal verdict on Mohamed Salah, claiming the Egyptian superstar should be sold if Liverpool F.C. want to remain competitive at the highest level.
The former Reds captain did not hold back when discussing the club’s recent struggles, insisting that Salah’s performances are no longer at the level required for a team chasing the top spots and qualification for the UEFA Champions League.
🗣️ “I’ve said it many times — it’s time for him to leave the team,” Gerrard reportedly said.
“He’s not good enough and it’s clear he can’t perform at the highest level anymore. He has to be sold. If this continues, Liverpool won’t qualify for the Champions League because of him.”
Shockwaves Around Anfield 😬
The comments have stunned many fans given Salah’s legendary status at the club. Since arriving from A.S. Roma in 2017, the Egyptian forward has become one of Liverpool’s greatest-ever players, helping the club win the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
However, recent performances have reportedly raised concerns among pundits and former players, with Liverpool struggling to find consistency this season under manager Arne Slot.
Fans Divided Over Gerrard’s Brutal Take 🔥
The explosive statement has immediately divided the Liverpool fanbase. Some supporters believe tough decisions must be made if the club wants to rebuild, while others insist that Salah remains one of the most important players at Anfield.
Social media has since erupted with debates over whether Liverpool should stand by their iconic forward or consider moving him on in the next transfer window.
Big Decisions Ahead 👀
With Liverpool fighting to secure a Champions League spot in the Premier League, pressure is mounting on the club’s hierarchy to address the team’s issues.
If performances don’t improve soon, the summer transfer window could bring major changes — and Salah’s future could become one of the biggest talking points at Anfield.
