Carragher Criticizes Salah for Prioritizing Contracts Over Liverpool's Struggles

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has expressed strong criticism of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, suggesting that his silence amid the club's recent struggles reflects a greater concern for contract negotiations than for the team's overall performance.

Salah, currently experiencing a dip in form, has come under fire following a series of defeats, with some analysts calling for his removal from the starting lineup.

In comments made on "Sky Sports," Carragher stated that Salah only speaks up when he wins individual awards or when he is negotiating a new contract, while remaining silent during challenging times. He noted that team captain Virgil van Dijk consistently steps up to address the media following losses.

Furthermore, Carragher remarked that Salah used to be more vocal about his position regarding personal matters, but now appears to lack the leadership expected of him to represent the club's image.

This criticism comes at a time when Salah has scored only eight goals this season, a significant drop compared to the 22 goals he had at the same point last year, indicating a notable decline in his performance level.
