Liverpool are reportedly considering selling their Egyptian talisman Mohamed Salah.
According to his former international team-mate Mohamed Aboutrika – Mo Salah is reportedly unhappy at Liverpool and the Reds are now considering cashing in on the Egyptian and selling him.
In an interview with beIN Sports Aboutrika said the 28-year-old was particularly annoyed about not being made team captain for Liverpool’s recent Champions League game against FC Midtjylland as well as other reasons.

“I called Salah about his situation at Liverpool and he is upset, but that would never affect his performance on the field,” Aboutrika said.
“I know that Salah is not happy in Liverpool, he told me the reasons why he is not happy but they are secrets and I cannot talk about it in public. One of the reasons that made Salah angry was that he was not the captain against Midtjylland.”
A special goal. A special player.

More fuel was added to the speculation when Salah was dropped to the bench for Liverpool’s game at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp insisted he was simply giving Salah a rest after a hectic period and when Salah did come on he scored a brace in Liverpool’s 7-0 hammering of Crystal Palace.
