Liverpool star Andy Robertson lifted the lid on his teammates' thoughts on Jamie Carragher after the club great aired his verdict on Mohamed Salah's contract controversy. Salah scored twice in Liverpool's 3-2 victory over Southampton on Sunday, including the all-important winner, but it was what he had to say post-match that garnered attention. Speaking to reporters, Salah conceded he is 'probably more out than in' at Liverpool and had yet to receive any contract offers from the club. With Salah's contract due to expire at the end of the season, Liverpool will not want to lose him for nothing. However, Carragher was not a fan of Salah's comments and branded the Egyptian 'selfish'. It appears Carragher's verdict did not go down well among Liverpool's stars. Speaking to CBS Sports after Liverpool's 2-0 win over Real Madrid on Wednesday, Robertson was asked by CBS Sports host Kate Scott for the team's thoughts on Carragher. The Scot's reply was brutal. "He's been getting a bit of stick in the changing room, that's for sure, " Robertson said. Carragher could only laugh along with the rest of the panel at Robertson's claim. Although Carragher may have been all smiles during Robertson's interview, he was in no mood to joke when discussing Salah's comments on Monday. "Of course there's been discussions, " Carragher said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football. "Right now, there's obviously a big difference in the valuation, what Mo Salah and his agent value themselves at, whether that's financially or in terms in length of contract, to what Liverpool do. "So the reason Liverpool wouldn't have offered a contract yet is because Mo Salah will turn it down. So they're still in talks, maybe. .. I'm desperate for them to meet in the middle. "But I must say, I am very disappointed with Mo Salah. " Carragher added: "Liverpool have got Real Madrid midweek and they've got Manchester City at the weekend, that's the story for Liverpool right now. "Mo Salah, we're all quite aware, certainly the local reporters are in Liverpool, that in the seven years he's been at the football club, he's stopped in the mixed zone twice, which is his right, which is absolutely fine. "But he decided to stop for the third time away at Southampton on the back of winning Liverpool the game and putting that out. "Now, the most important thing for Liverpool Football Club this season is not the future of Mo Salah, it's not the future of Virgil van Dijk and it's not the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold. "The most important thing is Liverpool winning the Premier League, that is more important than any of those players. "And if he continues to put comments out or his agent keeps putting cryptic tweets out, that's selfish, that's thinking about themselves and not the football club. " © 2024 talk SPORT Limited
