Mohamed Salah has recently been linked with a surprise move to Munich. Now an expert has given a clear opinion on the speculation.
Italian journalist Gianluca di Marzio believes a transfer of Mohamed Salah to FC Bayern is extremely unrealistic. Speaking to the portal wettfreunde.net, the renowned transfer expert said: „FC Bayern Munich currently have a lot of attacking players and, in Lennart Karl, a new young star who plays well in the same position. I don’t think there is any possibility of Salah moving to FC Bayern.“
The rumours were triggered by a public dispute between the attacker and Liverpool coach Arne Slot. After the 3:3 draw against promoted Leeds United, Salah was sharply critical and said he felt „thrown under the bus“. Slot responded by withdrawing him from the squad for the subsequent Champions League match against Inter Milan.
The issue did not go uncommented on at FC Bayern either. Head of Sport Max Eberl said, when asked about the Bayern rumour on DAZN: „We have an outstanding talent in Lennart Karl. Putting someone in front of him now would make no sense.“ „Nothing is planned“ for the winter addition, Eberl continued. „A new player can also cause unrest because roles shift.“
Return with a record: Salah responds on the pitch
Last Sunday, Salah returned to the squad for the home game against Brighton & Hove Albion and proved his worth despite the harsh criticism of him. The 33-year-old came on in the 26th minute, setting up the decisive goal to make it 2-0 and making history in the process.
With this assist, Salah scored 277 goals for Liverpool FC – more than any other player in Premier League history. He had previously shared the record with Wayne Rooney. However, discussions about his future are unlikely to stop, albeit almost certainly without FC Bayern as a hot transfer target.
