During these last weeks the name of Mohamed Salah has been causing a lot of commotion in different places, and while many put the Egyptian again as the great figure of the Premier League being above stars like Erling Haaland, in Merseyside is placed as the next great legend of the team, having external to England other situations around the pharaoh as is his possible departure to Saudi Arabian soccer, a situation that obviously Jürgen Klopp today is trying to avoid at all costs.

And it is curious to know that at this stage the German coach would do everything possible to try to retain his attacking star if you take into account that initially Jürgen Klopp did not have Mohamed Salah as his main candidate to be his star in attack, wishing the German coach at that time that Julian Brandt had been signed by Liverpool.

This whole situation has been revealed thanks to the statements made by the former Reds player and figure of the Reds, Jamie Carragher, stating and demonstrating in turn why it will not always be good for coaches to be in charge of getting all the reinforcements for the team, which could have caused Klopp's decision an endless number of different situations that would have the team in another situation completely different from the one they have lived with the Egyptian who came from A C Roma.

The big difference between Brandt and Salah is abysmal at the moment, and is that the Egyptian in his time with Liverpool has achieved a variety of titles including the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, not to mention his long history of goals that keep him in the fight to be the best striker of the team and the Premier League. On the side of Julian Brandt, this element since his arrival at Borussia Dortmund has not been able to be a great differentiator on the field, getting since 2019 only 59 goals, not even reaching the three-digit figure that Mo' left behind long ago.

Klopp is more cautious with his signings

Having almost lost one of the best strikers he has managed in his career, Jürgen Klopp has had some stumbles when it comes to making signings at the Reds, but so far there have been more hits than misses, during his tenure, signings such as Alisson Becker, Sadio Mané, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate have been totally worthwhile, not to mention more recent signings such as Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister who promise to be the new mainstay of the midfield.
