Former Tottenham player Jimmy O’Hara expressed his anger over the possibility of Egyptian international Mohamed Salah leaving his current team Liverpool for free following the end of next season, describing it as “unacceptable”.
Salah’s contract expires in June 2023, and the player and his representatives have not yet reached a new contractual formula with the Liverpool administration, in light of Salah’s financial demands, estimated at 400,000 pounds per week, and the management’s insistence not to exceed the team’s salary ceiling.
O’Hara, who started his career in 2005 and defended the colors of Wolverhampton, Fulham and Portsmouth in the English Premier League, told “TalkSport”: Now it is possible for Salah to leave for free, and this is certainly unacceptable.

He continued: “Liverpool set standards and became an example in how we deal as a football club in commercial matters and they did it brilliantly, they have to find a solution to that problem because Mohamed Salah cannot leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.”
According to “The Sun”, the Liverpool administration will accept any offers of up to 60 million pounds (70 million euros) to dispense with the Premier League’s top scorer in the past season, who currently earns 240,000 pounds per week.
Salah scored 31 goals in 51 matches in the red shirt during all tournaments last season, and contributed to crowning his team with the League and Union Cups and reaching the Champions League final.
