"He's 33 years old, he got paid a boatload a year or so ago, whatever it was, and has underperformed massively since then. He doesn't strike me as a great team player. As an owner, when I look at the way he behaved there if a player isn't performing, they're not going to be in the starting line up. We don't put people in the starting line up based on what they did three seasons ago or even last season."
"I do think there's already, even amongst the public, much more apprehension around his coming into the league. He's 33 years old, he got paid a boatload a year or so ago, whatever it was, and has underperformed massively since then. He doesn't strike me as a great team player.

Ben Harburg, American sports investor and Al Kholood owner, played down transfer interest in Mohamed Salah for the Saudi Pro League. Harburg cited a public falling-out between Salah and Liverpool manager Arne Slot after Salah criticised being benched. Harburg highlighted Salah's age (33), a prior large payday, and significant underperformance since that contract. Harburg labelled Salah as not a team player and described the combination of factors as toxic. Harburg expressed a preference for younger, 25-year-old prospects such as Vinicius over established older stars like Salah.
