Former Liverpool FC striker, Stan Collymore, has said he is confident the Reds can cope with the potential exit of Mohamed Salah at the end of the season.
The 33-year-old forward is set to leave Anfield as a free agent, bringing to an end a glittering nine-year spell with the club.
Salah has netted 256 goals in 437 appearances, making him the third-highest scorer in Liverpool’s history, while also winning the Premier League Golden Boot on four occasions among several individual honours.
Despite highlighting the Egyptian’s immense contribution, Collymore, speaking to Tribalfootball, maintained that Liverpool’s recruitment team will be capable of filling the void.
“It’s sad, but I think that it could have been dealt with by him better.
“If you look at the Andy Robertson video, it’s, ‘I’m leaving, I’m really grateful. It’s been an incredible nine years, love the club and I’ll always come back’.
“And I just think that Salah’s was a little, and I understand it, forwards are very much a different beast than a full-back. Full-backs are very much the Steady Eddie of a team and the dependables, and they very rarely get the headlines.
“Mo Salah’s in that kind of group of players where he’s got absolute belief in himself and his own ability, so that when he’s dropped, he takes it very, very personally. But still, nonetheless, when people say Mo Salah’s been extremely good for Liverpool, Liverpool have been extremely good for Mo Salah.”
