Overview
- Dietmar Hamann reiterated that Mohamed Salah no longer exerts the same influence for Liverpool, saying his best days are behind him after struggles since the Christmas before last.
- Hamann argued Arne Slot’s current setup leaves attackers exposed and limits control, making it harder for forwards and wingers to shine.
- He named Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise as an ideal right-sided replacement, while noting any move would be difficult and remains only his recommendation.
- Liverpool sit sixth in the Premier League and are three points off fourth, with Hamann suggesting a top-five finish may be needed to reach next season’s Champions League.
- Salah has five Premier League goals this season and recently ended a league drought against Wolves, and he has less than 18 months remaining on his contract.
