BREAKING NEWS: “SIGN HIM NOW!” – Sturridge Rips Liverpool Over Salah Contract Dispute
In an intense interview following Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Fulham, former striker Daniel Sturridge strongly criticized the club’s handling of Mohamed Salah’s contract situation. Sturridge didn’t hold back, defending Salah while also taking aim at Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher for his recent comments.
Speaking to Anfield Echo, Sturridge emphasized the importance of securing a long-term deal for Salah, describing the ongoing delay as “unacceptable.”
“I completely disagree with Jamie Carragher,” Sturridge said, clearly frustrated. “To say Liverpool’s priority is the Premier League is nonsense! You can’t win the league without the right players. First thing’s first: sort this out and give Salah his contract. He’s a legend, winning games on his own week after week.”
Salah, who has been in exceptional form this season, continues to lead Liverpool’s charge, with his goals and assists keeping the team in the hunt for both domestic and European titles. Sturridge highlighted Salah’s age-defying performances as proof that the Egyptian forward is still a vital part of Jürgen Klopp’s squad.
“Since the start of the season, he’s been unstoppable—age doesn’t matter. Salah is Liverpool’s backbone. Pay him what he deserves!” Sturridge urged.
This outburst comes as concerns grow among fans about Salah’s future at Anfield, with rumors circulating that he could leave when his current contract ends. The 32-year-old forward has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, where clubs are reportedly prepared to offer him a massive contract.
Sturridge’s comments have sparked a strong reaction from fans, who have taken to social media in support. One fan tweeted, “Thanks for speaking out, Daniel! Don’t understand why they’re not seeing the reality. We need Salah!” Another said, “Salah has done more for this club than anyone in the last 10 years. GIVE HIM THE CONTRACT.”
Critics of Liverpool’s cautious approach argue that Salah’s contributions are irreplaceable. With 12 goals and 8 assists in just 14 Premier League games this season, he remains the team’s most influential player. However, reports suggest that Liverpool’s management is reluctant to meet Salah’s wage demands, fearing it could set a precedent for older players.
Sturridge’s passionate remarks have reignited the debate, with many fans agreeing that Salah’s impact goes beyond his statistics. “He’s a leader, a game-changer, and the face of this club,” commented another fan. “If Liverpool want to win trophies, they need Salah.”
With the pressure mounting, all eyes are now on Liverpool’s decision-makers. Will they listen to Sturridge’s plea and secure Salah’s future, or risk alienating supporters and losing one of the club’s greatest-ever players? One thing is clear: the message from the fans is loud and clear—Keep Salah.
