Carragher Hits Back at Mohamed Salah, Says Egypt Star Has ‘Won Nothing Internationally’

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has issued a fiery response to Mohamed Salah following the Egyptian’s explosive comments after Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Leeds United, insisting the forward must remember he “hasn’t won anything for Egypt” at international level.

Salah, who was dropped for a third consecutive match, said the club had “thrown him under a bus”, triggering backlash from fans, pundits and within the club. His remarks have reportedly contributed to his exclusion from the squad travelling to face Inter Milan in Tuesday night’s Champions League clash.

Speaking on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, Carragher suggested Salah’s comments were strategically timed and likely influenced by his agent to undermine manager Arne Slot and possibly push for an exit.

Carragher said:
“One thing I want to remind Mo Salah of is that before he came to Liverpool, he was known as the guy who failed at Chelsea. That’s a fact. He’d never won a major trophy.”

He added that despite being regarded as Egypt’s greatest-ever footballer, Salah has never won the Africa Cup of Nations, even though the country is the most successful nation in AFCON history.

Carragher emphasised that Salah’s success at Liverpool came through collective effort, noting:
“You weren’t a big star before you came to Liverpool. You haven’t really won anything with Egypt. What that tells you is that no matter how good a player you are, you need help from your team-mates, your manager and the fans.”

The former defender criticised Salah’s post-match tone, saying his comments centred too much on “me, me, me”, at a time when Liverpool are struggling for form.

Real Madrid Eye Shock Move for Mohamed Salah as Liverpool Crisis Deepens

Real Madrid are reportedly considering a January swoop for Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, as tensions escalate between the Egyptian star and the Anfield hierarchy amid a turbulent season for the Reds.

Liverpool, who began the campaign with seven straight wins, have collapsed dramatically, securing just one victory in their last 15 matches across all competitions. The slump worsened after a painful 3–3 draw with Leeds United, followed by Salah’s blunt post-match comments accusing the club of “throwing him under the bus” and revealing he no longer has a working relationship with manager Arne Slot.

The fallout has fuelled speculation about Salah’s future, with Al-Hilal and San Diego FC previously linked. But new reports from Spanish outlet Fichajes, relayed via Football365, claim Real Madrid have now “entered the race” in what could become one of the most significant transfers of the winter window.

According to the report, Madrid are struggling for output on the right wing and view Salah as a proven, immediate solution due to his elite experience, exceptional goalscoring record, and leadership qualities. The club is said to have already proposed an “explosive exchange deal” to lure the Egyptian to the Bernabéu.

With Liverpool in crisis and Salah openly frustrated, the stage may be set for a dramatic transfer battle as January approaches.
