Gary Lineker reacted to Mohamed Salah's recent comments about Liverpool by saying the timing was not ideal and that there seemed to be a personal motive behind them, including an attempt to protect the player's public image.
Lineker also described Salah's expected departure from Anfield as a sad ending, given everything the Egyptian star has delivered for the club over many successful years.
The debate comes at a delicate moment for Liverpool, with growing discussion around key departures and the scale of change that may hit the squad.
