As the January transfer window approaches, interest from the Saudi Professional League and MLS has been confirmed. Carragher left speculation that Salah’s wave to the Anfield crowd after assisting the goal against Brighton took him to 277 goal involvements in the Premier League for Liverpool.
“What we see there (after the Brighton win) is better than what we saw at Elland Road,” he said on Sky Sports. “But as a Liverpool player, does Mo Salah deserve more than that? He deserves a guard of honor.
“He deserves to be mosaiced in the Kop. He deserved to be able to bring his family, his wife and children onto the pitch after his last game and actually be celebrated for what he did as a Liverpool player.”
“So, put aside the disagreement with the manager and think about three or four months at Liverpool: OK, the worst that could happen is that I get a big send-off like this.
“The best thing that’s going to happen is going out with my teammates in Budapest for the Champions League final. I think if he was sitting in Saudi Arabia watching Liverpool, he would really regret it.”
Carragher has found himself at the center of the Salah-Slot controversy, targeting the 33-year-old who has publicly complained about his reduced playing time.
Despite criticizing Salah’s Elland Road comments, the former defender remains adamant about the Egyptian’s legendary status at Anfield.
He added to the Telegraph: “I have been furious at his comments last weekend, but it would be an utter travesty if that interview was to be remembered as his last meaningful action at Liverpool.
“He has done too much for the club for that to happen. He has a responsibility to himself to ensure he gives the legend the farewell he deserves – whenever that may be. If that means he has to apologize, then so be it.”
