Carragher also suggested that a new generation of fans has emerged, who prioritize their allegiance to individual players over the team. He thinks that if Salah had left the club two years ago or last summer, some fans would have followed him, and that some might have even wanted Liverpool to lose in order to keep him at the club.

Private talks are reportedly taking place between Liverpool management and Salah ahead of this weekend's game against Brighton, which could be his last for the club before he heads to the Africa Cup of Nations. Some believe this game may mark the end of his time at Liverpool.
