Liverpool player Salah criticizes a fan account for disregarding his former teammates with disrespect.
Liverpool's Historic Summer Transfer Window and Mohamed Salah's Rebuke
Liverpool FC made headlines this summer with a record-breaking transfer window, as the Premier League champions smashed spending records and brought in new talent. However, the celebrations were somewhat overshadowed by a public rebuke from star player Mohamed Salah.
The controversy began when a popular fan account, @AnfieldEdition, posted a black-and-white collage comparing the new signings, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, to former teammates Darwin Nuñez and Luis Diáz. The post, which had over 500,000 followers, was captioned, "Name a bigger upgrade in footballing history."
Salah, who played alongside Nuñez and Diáz, publicly rebuked the fan account, stating, "How about we celebrate the great signings without disrespecting the PL champions?"
The new signings, Wirtz and Isak, joined Liverpool for a combined fee of £241.5m. Wirtz was signed from Bayer Leverkusen for £116m, breaking the club's transfer record, while Isak's £125m move from Newcastle on deadline day broke the British transfer record.
Liverpool also spent £108.5m on Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong, bringing their total spending to a staggering £446m. This set a new record for Premier League spending, surpassing Chelsea's 2023 outlay of £434.5m.
Despite the controversy surrounding the post by @AnfieldEdition, both Nuñez and Diáz had pivotal roles in Liverpool's title-winning side last season under Arne Slot. Nuñez, who joined Al-Hilal for €53m after three mixed seasons at Anfield, and Diáz sealed a £65.5m switch to Bayern Munich.
The club also generated £228.1 million in player sales, with the proceeds likely to be reinvested in the squad.
In conclusion, Liverpool's summer transfer window was historic, setting new records for spending and bringing in new talent. However, the celebrations were marred by a public rebuke from star player Mohamed Salah, who called for respect for the club's former players.
