Jamie Carragher, one of Liverpool's legendary players, evaluated Mohamed Salah's transfer to Trabzonspor, saying, 'The level in Turkey is too low for him.'
Jamie Carragher, one of the unforgettable names of Liverpool and English football, evaluated the transfer of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah to Trabzonspor. The experienced football pundit did not hide his surprise at this choice, stating that Salah is still capable of playing for Europe's giant clubs.
''THE LEVEL IN TURKEY IS LOW FOR HIM''
Carragher, who stated that he never believed in the possibility of Salah going to Saudi Arabia, also described the Turkey choice as a surprise. Emphasizing that the star player is still of the quality to play top-level football, the English legend said, "I never believed he would go to Saudi Arabia. He is still far too good a player for that. I think he could easily have played in Serie A. The level in Turkey is a bit low for him. I was convinced he would go to a club like Milan or Juventus. Perhaps his wage demands caused some clubs to step back."
''STATISTICS-DRIVEN, LIKE RONALDO''
Carragher, who stated that Salah shares similarities with Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of his ambition and individual goals, made the following assessment:
"I don't have a personal closeness with him, but like Ronaldo, he is extremely ambitious and places great importance on his statistics. He will achieve these numbers in Turkey as well. Nevertheless, with the chance to step out at San Siro and compete in European cups, his move to Turkey surprised me. Salah definitely deserved better than this level."
