Liverpool icon Vladimir Smicer has urged Mohamed Salah to snub the riches of Saudi Arabia in favour of a move to MLS, suggesting the Egyptian could reach the same heights of global superstardom as Lionel Messi in the United States. The former Reds midfielder also believes he has identified the tactical reason behind Salah's uncharacteristic dip in form under Arne Slot this season.
Arne Slot admitted on the eve of Liverpool's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain that his side had suffered so many setbacks this season that he there wouldn't have been time to reference them all in the one press conference.
