Former skipper of the Super Eagles Jay jay Okocha has urged Liverpool forward Mohammed Salah to join Barcelona.
Salah, whose consistent performances helped Jurgen Klopp’s men win the Champions League and Premier League for the first time in 30 years, teamed up with Merseyside club in the summer of 2017 from AS Roma.
The Anfield giants have seen their form drop in recent weeks, having lost four consecutive Premier League games against Brighton & Hove Albion, Manchester City, Leicester City and Everton.
Salah has been consistent with his impressive performances for the club this term, scoring 24 goals, including 17 in the English top-flight and provided four assists in 34 appearances across all competitions this season. But, his efforts have not been able to save his side from defeats.
The Egypt international has been linked with a move to several European club sides, and Okocha has advised the former Chelsea star to join Barcelona.
“If there is a chance to join Barcelona, I advise Salah to go there. His energy has run out with Liverpool,” Okocha told ONTime Sports, as per Kingfut.
“The situation is now regressing in Liverpool, and Salah must leave the Premier League. If there is any chance to join Barcelona, I advise him to go there.”
Salah will be expected to continue his sparkling performances when Liverpool take on Sheffield United in their next Premier League game on Sunday.
Liverpool’s recent form has seen them drop off the top five on the league table after gathering 40 points from 25 games.
