Gary Neville has sent a tweet about Mohamed Salah after the forward signed a new contract with Liverpool.
After months of intense speculation, Salah put pen to paper on a new deal on Friday to extend his stay at Anfield. His contract, which was originally due to run out last summer, has now been extended to 2025.
Soon after it was confirmed that Salah had extended his deal, Jamie Carragher posted a tweet aimed at Neville. The tweet showed a video where, back in 2019, Neville predicted that Manchester United would win the Premier League before Liverpool, and that Salah would leave the club.

“And Liverpool, Salah’s going to leave in the next 12 months, I can see it already,” Neville told the Sky Sports The Debate programme in August 2019.
“He [Carragher] knows, he won’t say it.
“Salah will leave, he will, I can absolutely guarantee it, I can see it, you can feel it, you can smell it, you know when a player’s like…”
Neville has now tweeted about Salah's news, suggesting that the forward may have got the better deal than Liverpool in terms of the contract negotiations. The Sky Sports pundit wrote: “Salah has played them hasn’t he,” followed by two laughing emojis and a wink face emoji.
It has been suggested the forward will earn roughly £350k a week, a significant rise on his current deal, reported to be worth £200k a week, to become the highest-paid player in the club’s history.
The ECHO understands that the 30-year-old will indeed earn less than £400k a week, with his new deal heavily incentivised so he could earn more based on player performance.
