Wijnaldum's departure could give Mohamed Salah the captaincy of Liverpool
The British "Liverpool Echo" network believes that the departure of Liverpool's first-team midfielder, Georginio Wijnaldum, to Paris Saint-Germain may give the captaincy to his colleague Mohamed Salah from next season.
- Wijnaldum was the fourth captain in Liverpool's squad under coach Jurgen Klopp, after Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Virgil van Dijk.
- Thus, Klopp will have to choose a fourth captain for the Liverpool team after the departure of Wijnaldum before the start of the new season and Mohamed Salah may be one of the candidates for it alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold.
- Mohamed Salah expressed his frustration after the Maitland match in the Champions League because he did not carry the captain's armband that he dreamed of in Liverpool after Klopp gave it to Arnold in that match with the absence of all the main leaders on the field.
- Klopp admitted at the time that he made a mistake when he gave the armband to Arnold and confirmed that he deserved it, Divock Origi, but he also confirmed that he had spoken with Mohamed Salah after his statements because what he did was unintentional.
- And the network reported that Mohamed Salah may be given the captaincy of Liverpool to ensure his happiness at being inside the “Anfield” castle in the coming years, after rumors of leaving in the summer Mercato.
