“Sadio has left”- Liverpool superstar reveals his thoughts on playing with new signing Darwin Nunez

Mohamed Salah says he is excited to play with Darwin Nunez at Liverpool after signing new contract

Speaking in an interview with Liverpoolfc.com after signing a new contract, Mohamed Salah gave his thoughts on playing with new Liverpool signing Darwin Nunez.

The saga is over. Salah stays. The Egyptian superstar was due to become a free agent next year but he has extended his deal that will now expire in the summer of 2025.

This comes just a few days after Sadio Mane’s move to Bayern Munich was announced which increased the anxiety around Salah’s long-term future at Anfield. But despite the Senegalese star’s departure, Salah has something to look forward to next season.

He now has a new partner in attack in Darwin Nunez- the 23-year-old Uruguayan star LFC signed from SL Benfica last month. And he has given his verdict on this potential link-up in our frontline from next season.

“I am so excited, I want to play with him. He had a good season and played good against us, home and away. Also, Sadio has left and I am going to miss him. He had great seasons with the club, so I wish him all the best. I wish Darwin all the best too to score many goals for us.”

The evolution of LFC

Salah noticed what a lot of our fans did as well. Nunez was pretty impressive against the Reds when he faced us in last season’s UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. He netted twice but to no avail.

Nevertheless, it showed us first-hand just what the ex-Almeria striker is capable of. Mane played as a centre-forward towards the end of his Liverpool career.

And Nunez is touted to be a like-for-like replacement in that position. Luis Diaz has made the left flank his own and is expected to retain his starting spot.
