pinalti.com – Former Liverpool player Vladimir Smicer has identified Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise as the ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah. Smicer believes Salah will leave this summer after nine years at Anfield. The Egyptian forward confirmed his departure in a social media video last month.
Salah’s contract was waived for its final year. He leaves as Liverpool’s third-highest goalscorer in history. He scored 256 goals for the club.
Only Roger Hunt and Ian Rush scored more for Liverpool. During his time, Salah won two Premier League titles. He also won the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup.
Salah featured in squads that won two League Cups. He was also in the squad that won the 2022 FA Cup. This information was reported by the Liverpool Echo.
Vladimir Smicer made 184 appearances for Liverpool. He played between 1999 and 2005. He scored in the famous 2005 Champions League final win over AC Milan.
Smicer believes Olise is a perfect fit for a new era. He made his comments to BetVictor. The company offers World Cup betting.
“We’ve seen Liverpool struggling on the flanks, with the wingers,” Smicer said. “We lost Luis Diaz, and Mo Salah is not at his usual standard this season.”
“We need a good winger, especially now we know that Mo Salah is leaving.” Smicer called Salah one of the club’s greatest players. He described Salah’s nine-year spell as glittering.
