Former Liverpool player, Joe Cole has suggested that the Egyptian winger, Mohamed Salah doesn’t look happy at Liverpool just now.
Salah has been in the news since the summer transfer window when the Saudi club offered huge money for the Egyptian’s services. However, the Reds weren’t ready to let go of their star player and rejected the offer.

This did not satisfy the Saudi Pro League club as they have said that they would try again for their key target. This would mean that the Reds are braced for yet another attempt in 2024.
For now though, Salah has put the transfer speculation behind and has been doing what he does best- score goals.
He scored another one against LASK last night in their UEL win. This saw them progress to the round of 16 of the competition.

Joe Cole claims Salah is not happy at Liverpool
While speaking to TNT Sports after the game last night, Cole said that it is hard to tell how happy Salah is.
“He’s a bit of a poker player, isn’t he? You don’t know whether he’s happy. He could score a worldie and he doesn’t smile. He keeps his cards close to his chest.
The future, the years are passing by for him because he’s already a Liverpool great, there’s no doubt about that. I think the key situation will be does he wants to stay and really take this team? I feel there’s years ahead of him, I think he is going to be another five, six or seven years playing because of that professionalism and fitness and he doesn’t look like he’s letting up. He is still breezing past players.”

While this could seem absurd, it does feel like Cole has a point. After the whole summer saga with Al-Ittihad, Liverpool fans were looking to their No. 11 to make some kind of public declaration of commitment to the Reds.
Some feel that his silence could be seen as an admission that he was infact interested to leave the club. But some also see it as a more mature and respectful way of handling the situation.
Moreover, the Egyptian has always spoken with love for Liverpool in interviews and conferences. But one couldn’t help but think that this could be his last season at Anfield.
