Former Arsenal winger, Freddie Ljungberg, has hit out at Jamie Carragher for his comments on Mohamed Salah.
DAILY POST reported that Carragher recently labeled the Egyptian as ‘selfish’ for coming out publicly talk about his contract situation at Anfield.
Carragher had told the trio of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Salah, who have all entered the final year of their contracts, that what was more important was the club’s pursuit of the Premier League title and not discussing new deals.
This was after Salah expressed his disappointment over the club’s inability to offer him a new deal.
Carragher said Salah was being selfish for even mentioning his contract situation instead of focusing on winning the league.
But former Sweden international, Ljungberg, claimed that the Egyptian is only making public comments because he wants to stay at Anfield.
He said via Sportskeeda, “I think that it is very disrespectful on the part of the club. Not as Jamie Carragher is trying to make it out to be – that it is Mo Salah who is disrespectful.
“Sorry, but that’s bull****. If you have a player of that calibre as Salah, if you don’t want to extend with him and he wants to leave – then tell him. ‘We will show you respect, you are too old and want too much. Financially, it doesn’t work for us.’”
