Mohamed Salah's statement causes a stir at Liverpool

Legendary Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has shaken the club's internal atmosphere with statements made on the verge of his departure. The Egyptian star criticized the playing style under Arne Slot, calling for a return to the "heavy metal" football of the Jürgen Klopp era. Former club striker Michael Owen shared his reaction to the situation. According to Goal.com reports.

During his nine-year career at Liverpool, Mohamed Salah won the Premier League twice and the Champions League once. However, with 12 months left on his contract, the 33-year-old forward has decided to part ways with the club. Salah is now expected to continue his career in Europe, the MLS, or the Saudi Pro League.

In a social media statement, Salah did not hide his dissatisfaction with the team's results this season. "I have witnessed this club transform from doubters to believers, and then to champions. Our defeats this season have been very painful. I want to see Liverpool as an attacking team that opponents fear again," said the Egyptian footballer.

In an interview with GOAL, Michael Owen compared Salah's words to a "hand grenade." Owen noted that while Salah's thoughts are understandable, making them public could be detrimental to the team. Liverpool has currently dropped to fifth place in the Premier League table, further increasing the tension within the squad.
