Mohamed Salah has not kicked his last ball for Liverpool. Probably. According to him, at least.
The Liverpool legend gave an interview with some lad named Steven Gerrard, and when asked if he’d be back before the finale against Brentford, Salah replied, “Yeah, for sure. The injury is fine. Definitely. I probably will be [back] before that, probably.”
Great. Definitely. Probably.
Salah definitely deserves a proper Anfield send off, which he will get either way, but we’re all hoping for one last bit of magic from the Egyptian King before he closes an incredible chapter to his career.
“I really want to be remembered in this club,” Salah continued, “After the first year, I would say I want people to remember me as if I’m one of the best. And somehow it got into my head I want people to remember me more than you [Gerrard], more than Kenny [Dalglish]. I’m not trying to be rude! They will not. But it doesn’t matter.”
Wildly modest from Mo. As if his name will not forever be mentioned in the same breath as these other Liverpool greats. As if he’s not one of the first names on an all-time Liverpool XI.
Of course, where he ultimately falls on that list is a topic for another day. Or, more accurately, for the decades to come, assuming humanity has decades left at this rate.
