Mohamed Salah has admitted that he had a tense relationship with Sadio Mane at Liverpool. He stated that they were professional but were never close off the pitch.
Speaking to France Football, Salah stated that it was normal to have competition between teammates. He believes that it did not affect them at Liverpool, as they always did well together on the pitch. He said via Daily Mirror:
Salah was quizzed about some fans calling him selfish, and he replied:
Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané played 223 matches together at Liverpool. They combined for 35 goals and won the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League once.
Mohamed Salah was close to the end of his contract at Liverpool before penning a new deal this season. He admitted that there was a ‘strange’ feeling as his future was in the balance and said:
Mohamed Salah has scored 28 goals this season and has assisted 18 in the Premier League. The Reds have won the Premier League this season but have not managed to add another trophy in Arne Slot’s first season.
They lost the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle United, while they were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by PSG.
