Jose Mourinho, the renowned football manager, has set the record straight regarding Mohamed Salah’s transfer to Chelsea. In a recent discussion on the @obionepodcast, Mourinho emphasized that contrary to popular belief, he was instrumental in bringing Salah to Chelsea, not in his departure. He highlighted that he actively intervened to secure Salah’s transfer when the player was on the verge of joining Liverpool.
Mourinho explained that Salah was eager to play regularly and opted for a loan move to gain more playing time. It was during this period that Chelsea made the decision to sell the player, a move that Mourinho insists was not his call. “He didn’t want to wait, he wanted to go on loan… then Chelsea sold Salah, not me,” Mourinho stated.
Mohamed Salah, currently an attacker for Liverpool and a key figure in the Premier League, hails from Egypt. His journey through the ranks of European football has been marked by significant contributions and a style of play that has earned him accolades and a strong fan following.
