Back in the hazy days of 2017, it took Mohamed Salah only a few months to be crowned the Egyptian King of Anfield.
The winger, who arrived on Merseyside that summer for £34.3 million after a brief spell as Roman Emperor, scored a sensational 44 goals in his debut season, quickly sparking the flames of Jurgen Klopp 's still-burning reign. As the saying goes, "whoever controls the king, controls the kingdom." Right now, though, Liverpool can't.
The Reds find themselves this summer two trophies stronger, but with the weight of Salah's future pushing down on them. The 29-year-old, for all of his good work in the 2021-22 campaign, has been somewhat of a tyrant for the Anfield bigwigs over the past year.
