"Salah took exception to a post on X featuring images of the departed duo in black-and-white over new signings Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak with the caption: Name a bigger upgrade in footballing history. How about we celebrate the great signings without disrespecting the PL champions? Salah fired back, defending his fellow forwards who helped Liverpool win their 20th league title last season."
"The Anfield Edition account, which has more than half a million followers, quickly apologised. It wasn't the intention to disrespect, more to highlight the incredible transfers this summer. But we're sorry, it posted with a picture of Salah on a throne. The social media interaction comes after a summer of big-money moves that saw the Colombian winger Diaz head to Bayern Munich for 65.5m, while Nunez joined Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal for a reported 46m."
Mohamed Salah criticised a popular fan account for a post that mocked former teammates Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez by comparing them unfavourably to new signings Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. The account apologised, saying the intention was to praise summer transfers rather than disrespect Liverpool's champions. The interaction followed major transfer activity: Diaz left for Bayern Munich for 65.5m and Nunez moved to Al-Hilal for about 46m, while Liverpool signed Wirtz and Isak for large fees. Diaz contributed 13 goals and seven assists last season, while Nunez scored five times in 30 appearances.
