'He was so bad!' - Mohamed Salah exit no surprise to former Liverpool star as European suitors told they cannot afford Egyptian forward

Scathing Assessment of Salah's Recent Performances

Former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel has delivered a scathing assessment of Mohamed Salah's recent performances, suggesting the Egyptian's impending exit is the right move for all parties. Despite his legendary status, Babbel questioned the forward's work rate and harmony with Arne Slot, claiming his displays this season have been shockingly poor.

Salah's Departure and Decline in Form

While Salah's departure at the end of his current deal is already established, the nature of his final season has come under heavy fire from club alumni. Although the 33-year-old has managed 12 goals and 9 assists this term, his overall contribution has dropped significantly from the elite standards that saw him record 57 goal involvements last year.
