You want Trophies Quit Liverpool, Salah told

Egypt boss Javier Aguirre thinks Mohamed Salah could be better off away from Liverpool if their trophy drought continues.

The Reds haven’t won a trophy since their League Cup success in 2012, which is the only piece of silverware they have won in 12 years.

Jurgen Klopp’s side did reach the final of the Champions League last campaign only to lose 3-1 in the final to Real Madrid.

And they are yet to taste defeat in the Premier League this season and are currently only two points off leaders Manchester City in the title race.

Despite that, Aguirre has encouraged Salah to think about moving if the Reds continue to fail to pick up trophies on a regular basis.

“It may be better for him to leave within a season or two if Liverpool doesn’t win any titles,” Aguirre said.

Salah was on target yet again for his country during the international break, scoring the winner in Egypt’s five-goal thriller against Tunisia.

Meanwhile, Sadio Mane has signed a new five-year deal to remain at Anfield until 2023.

Salah joined the Reds in summer 2017 and enjoyed by far the most productive season of his entire career, scoring 44 goals in 52 games.

But he could not fire Liverpool to silverware, as the Reds were beaten in the final of the Champions League and suffered early League and FA Cup exits.

Salah has only won one trophy throughout his entire career, claiming the Swiss Super League title with Basel in 2013.

At the same time Klopp is set to return to the Bundesliga early next year to take Hoffenheim midfielder Kerem Demirbay to Anfield.

The German international has emerged as a leading target for Klopp who has been monitoring his progress for much of this season.
