Liverpool fans reacted negatively to the performance of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah in the club’s Premier League tie against Watford. The Reds were locked in a tight game where Salah seemed to disappear, having next to no influence on the game.

Salah failed to register a single shot on target against Watford, provoking the ire of the fans and causing some to question his wage demands.

Mohamed Salah and Liverpool have been embroiled in contract negotiations, with the star requesting £500,000 per week as per a report by the Mirror last year.

Salah had a tough match against the Hornets today, which has led to these fan reactions:

Although the Egyptian star has had a rough game this weekend, he has been on fire for the Reds this season. He is the current top scorer in the Premier League with 20 goals and is racing towards his third Golden Boot. His overall return of 28 goals and 10 assists across competitions has put the club on the edge of a potential quadruple.

However, with concerns over a new deal for Salah, it looks increasingly unlikely that Liverpool will agree to half a million pounds per week. Negotiations have been dragging on with no light at the end of the tunnel

According to reports by Spanish outlet Sport, Mohamed Salah is extremely 'tempted' to move to Barcelona. This comes after the Reds failed to meet his contract demands, with both club and player at an impasse that may not be resolved.

The Blaugrana have reportedly been informed of Salah's intentions to move to Camp Nou, and the Spanish giants are interested in the 29-year-old Egyptian.

However, the higher-ups at Anfield are reportedly unhappy with these new developments and have warned that they will not negotiate for Salah. Although the Egyptian star is entering the final year of his current contract, it is unlikely that his fee will be reduced if Barcelona come calling.

The Guardian earlier reported that Salah's representatives turned down the Reds' latest offer, and an agreement seems out of the question until the club improves their terms.

Mohamed Salah has been a key force for the Reds since he moved to Anfield in 2017, guiding them to a Champions League trophy and the Premier League title. He has also scored 153 goals in 240 appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side.
