Former Liverpool player, Didi Hamann has urged winger, Mohamed Salah to consider leaving the club for the Saudi Pro League this summer transfer window.
Hamann expressed concern that Salah has become a source of distraction for manager, Arne Slot and the team at Anfield.
“He had the chance to go to Saudi Arabia last season and he did not. I am not sure he wants to go there,” Hamann told BetGoat (via GOAL) as reported by Sportskeeda.
“If you ask me today, the best solution would be to part ways. It would probably benefit him and the team.
“He came out with statements I didn’t really understand, it lingers around the camp and every time he does not play, the Arne Slot gets asked why, and it becomes a distraction.
“There have been poor performances without Salah as well, so it is unfair to put the blame all on him.”

AFCON: ‘He likes to bully, fight’ – Ighalo on Victor Osimhen, Akor Adams
Former Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo has provided the qualities that differentiate Victor Osimhen from Akor Adams.
Both players have demonstrated their skills for Nigeria at the ongoing AFCON in Morocco so far, playing pivotal roles in the team’s impressive 4-0 triumph over Mozambique in the Round of 16 on Monday.
Despite their combined success, Ighalo insisted that Osimhen’s playing style differentiates him from Adams.
Speaking on SuperSport, the former Manchester United striker stated, “Not every striker have speed. Victor is a different kind of striker to Akor.
“He’s the kind of striker that likes to keep the ball, bully and fight.
“If you see the game [against Mozambique] every time, he always tries to fight, and when he gets the chance, he shoots.”

Copa del Rey: ‘Absolute failure’ – Santiago Canizares slams Real Madrid after Albacete defeat
A former Real Madrid goalkeeper, Santiago Canizares, has criticized his old team after they were unexpectedly knocked out of the Copa del Rey.
Real Madrid lost 3-2 to a team from the second division, Albacete, and were eliminated in the Round of 16 on Wednesday.
The loss to Albacete was also the first game for the new head coach, Alvaro Arbeloa, who started his role this week after taking over from Xabi Alonso.
Alonso was sacked by the Spanish team following their 3-2 loss to Barcelona in the Supercopa de España final.
Los Blancos also played without their top player Kylian Mbappe.
In an interview with Radio Cope, former Los Blancos player Santiago Canizares talked about how the team played and why they were eliminated from the Copa del Rey.
He said, as quoted by Tribal Football, “Even though I don’t want to say it, Real Madrid have absolutely failed.
“Arbeloa doesn’t want to use that word. I really agree with what he said, that you have to lose a lot before you can win.
“To achieve success, you have to experience failure many times. Today was a complete failure, and that’s clear.”
The former goalkeeper slammed the management, saying, “The management has been really poor all week.
“In football, even when things are done properly, things can still go wrong. If you don’t do them right, there’s a higher risk that problems might happen.”
After losing in the final of the Supercopa and being knocked out of the Copa Del Rey, Los Blancos will now focus on winning LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League.
They are currently in second place in the league, only four points behind Barcelona.
