Peter Crouch Stunned by Mohamed Salah’s ‘Unfinished Business’ Claims
Peter Crouch has expressed his bewilderment regarding suggestions that Liverpool may consider selling Mohamed Salah during the upcoming summer transfer window. Despite Salah’s current underwhelming performance compared to previous seasons, Crouch believes he remains a valuable asset for the team.
Crouch’s Support for Salah
Crouch maintains that Salah is a world-class player capable of excelling at Liverpool. He emphasized the importance of Salah staying with the club for another season. Crouch remarked, “He’s got unfinished business; he won’t want to go out like this with the season he’s having.”
Salah’s form has fluctuated this season, especially before and after the Africa Cup of Nations. Recently, however, he seems to be regaining his form, looking sharper in his performances. Crouch noted, “He’s definitely got another season in him.” He dismissed concerns about Salah’s fitness, stating, “It’s not as if he’s overweight and his legs are gone yet!”
Salah’s Stats and Future Prospects
This season, Mohamed Salah has recorded seven goals and assisted eight others. This performance is a significant drop from the 57 goal contributions he achieved in the 2024/25 season. Many speculate whether Liverpool will act on any substantial offers for Salah during the summer transfer window.
Performance Revitalization
After returning from AFCON, Salah played against Marseille in the Champions League. Coach Arne Slot recognized Salah’s professionalism, stating, “It says a lot about how big a professional he is that he can be away for more than a month and be so fit to play 90 minutes after one day of training.” He acknowledged that Salah had been close to scoring during matches, highlighting his ongoing potential.
Conclusion: Unfinished Business
As Liverpool looks ahead, the decisions regarding Salah’s future will depend on both the club’s and the player’s intentions. Despite his current performance dip, the potential for his resurgence remains, affirming Crouch’s sentiments of Salah having “unfinished business” at Liverpool. Fans and analysts alike will keenly observe how this situation unfolds in the coming months.
