Mohamed Salah hits out at major Liverpool fan account for ‘disrespecting’ the club with transfer comparison following arrival of £240MILLION superstars

Mohamed Salah has called for departing Liverpool players to be shown respect as the club talisman took aim a post shared by a major fan account.

Liverpool fan platform Anfield Edition, which has over 500,000 follows on X, lauded in the club’s summer transfer business in a post on Tuesday,

The account focused on the big-money summer signings of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, who joined the club for £125m and £116m respectively.

In praising the transfers, the account shared the message ‘Name a bigger upgrade in footballing history’, with the new signings compared to departing stars Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.

Diaz left Liverpool in a £65.5m move to Bayern Munich, while Nunez’s underwhelming spell at the club came to an end when he joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal for £53m. 

Salah came to the defence of his former team-mates, with the Liverpool star highlighting their contribution to Liverpool’s title success last season.

‘How about we celebrate the great signings without disrespecting the PL champions?’ Salah wrote.

Salah’s comment received the backing of several Liverpool fans, who noted Diaz and Nunez’s contributions to their title winning campaign last season.

‘Even as they left us, they will always be remembered of there influence in the team. Champions always,’ one wrote.

‘Spot on, Mo,’ another added, with a third posting ‘As it should be, brother. Let’s stop the comparison’.

Another fan commented ‘The King has spoken, stop the disrespect’.

Diaz had enjoyed a productive spell at Liverpool after joining the club in January 2022, with the Colombian going on to score Diaz 41 goals in 148 appearances.

The winger had 20 goal involvements in the Premier League last season – 13 goals and seven assists – as Arne Slot’s side were crowned champions.

Diaz also won the League Cup on two occasions and was part of the Liverpool side to reach the Champions League final in 2022, where they were beaten by Real Madrid.

Despite being unable to live up to his £85m transfer fee, Liverpool’s club record deal in 2022, Nunez had remained a regular member of Slot’s squad.

He made 30 appearances in the Premier League last season, scoring five times and providing three assists.
