Mohamed Salah Defends Luis Díaz Against Criticism Following Bayern Munich Transfer
LIVERPOOL, England – Mohamed Salah publicly defended former Liverpool teammate Luis Díaz after the Colombian forward faced criticism from some English media outlets following his recent transfer to Bayern Munich. The Egyptian attacker took to social media to challenge comparisons made between Díaz and Darwin Núñez to recent Liverpool signings, emphasizing the contributions of both players to Liverpool’s Premier League championship win.
The controversy arose after the ‘Anfield Edition’ portal compared Díaz and Núñez to Liverpool’s acquisitions of Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, adding the comment, “name a bigger betterment in football history.” Salah responded forcefully, questioning why celebrating new signings should come at the expense of respecting current Premier League champions. ”What if we celebrate the great signings without missing respect for the Premier League champions?” he posted.Díaz’s move to Bayern Munich came after a prosperous season with Liverpool where he scored 13 goals and provided seven assists in 36 games, second only to Salah’s 29 goals and 18 assists in goal contributions. as joining Bayern, Díaz has already made an impact, scoring three goals and providing two assists in his first four games.
The criticism surrounding Díaz’s departure has sparked debate in England, notably regarding Liverpool’s significant investment in new players. Salah’s support underscores the value Díaz brought to Liverpool and serves as a rebuke to those questioning the Colombian’s decision to move to Germany.
