Gary Neville's comments earlier this year appear to explain why he mocked Liverpool for handing Mohamed Salah a lucrative new three-year contract on Friday.
After a year-long contract dispute between Salah and Jurgen Klopp's side, the Egyptian finally put pen to paper on Friday on a deal worth £350,000 a week to make him the club's highest-paid player in history, with his original contract due to expire at the end of June 2023.
For Salah, the 2022/23 campaign was one of mixed highs and lows. He helped Liverpool win the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, but finished second in the Premier League, lost the final of the Champions League with the Reds and lost the Africa Cup of Nations final earlier this year with Egypt.
