Jamie Carragher issues three-word response to bombshell Mo Salah contract news as Liverpool post goes viral

Jamie Carragher has issued a three-word response to Mohamed Salah's bombshell Liverpool contract update.

Salah's future has been the subject of intense transfer speculation as he enters the final months of his existing deal.

The same goes for Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who appears set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer.

But a stunning report claims he is set to extend his legendary stay at Anfield.

According to Paul Joyce of The Times, Salah is closing in on an agreement with Liverpool as talks have been progressing well.

There is growing expectation that he will sign a new deal in a move that will break FSG's 'golden rule' at Liverpool.

Both Salah and Liverpool took to social media amid the update on the player's contract.

Salah posted two images, including a picture of himself working out, while Liverpool uploaded a topless picture of their superstar forward, accompanied with a crown emoji.

Carragher also posted on social media in the wake of the star forward's contract update.

He commented on Salah's social media post, with the caption: "The obsession continues."

Carragher's three-word comment is a reference to Salah's response to a contract message earlier this year.

The Reds legend criticised the 32-year-old and questioned the way he has handled his contract situation, saying: "It’s obviously a really important time for all three players, we know that, but I think rather than speak about Trent Alexander-Arnold or Mo Salah, I’d probably like to pay tribute to Virgil van Dijk. I think he’s come across as a real statesman with the way he’s handled it.

"He’s been asked questions, he’s knocked it away, he’s here to win the league, he wants to do his utmost for Liverpool, and fingers crossed he signs. I think the other two could maybe look at Virgil van Dijk and take a leaf out of his book."

Salah reposted the video of Carragher giving his thoughts, along with the message: "I’m starting to think you’re obsessed with me."
