A damning report claims the Egyptian King is “blocking” the club’s new era, creating a major problem for the high-priced signing and the team.
A startling theory has emerged from Germany to explain Florian Wirtz’s difficult beginning at Liverpool, and it places the blame squarely on the shoulders of a club legend: Mohamed Salah.
According to a scathing report from Sport Bild, Wirtz’s underwhelming start since his £116 million summer move is being attributed to Salah’s performances. The German publication claims the Egyptian forward is a “major problem” for the team and is failing to help his new teammate settle, noting that Salah has not provided a single assist for Wirtz this season.
“Salah is increasingly becoming a major problem for Liverpool and Wirtz!” the report states. “He is the king of the champions, seemingly blocking their successful new beginning.”
The article delves further, suggesting that Salah’s “stubbornness” is a topic of discussion in the dressing room and positing that the club’s future, led by the €140 million Wirtz, depends on who will “dethrone” the current star. It even speculates that a move to Saudi Arabia in 2026 is “quite possible.”
These claims come at a time when Wirtz is under intense scrutiny. The German international has yet to register a goal or an assist in 11 Premier League appearances. His performance in a recent 3-0 loss to Manchester City drew sharp criticism from pundit Gary Neville, who said the young playmaker “looked like a little boy” and was “mauled” on the pitch.
In contrast, Salah has four goals and two assists from the same number of matches, making the German media’s critique all the more controversial. As Liverpool prepares to host Nottingham Forest, the pressure is on for Wirtz, Salah, and the entire team to turn their talking points into results on the pitch.
