In a remarkable display of loyalty and respect, Mohamed Salah stood up for his former teammates Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez after a fan account posted an offensive message on social media. The account on X shared black-and-white images of Díaz and Núñez alongside full-color photos of new signings Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, with the caption: “Name a bigger upgrade in football history.”
Salah quickly responded:
“How about we celebrate the great signings without disrespecting Premier League champions?”
Reminding fans of both forwards’ contributions to Liverpool’s league title. The criticized account, Anfield Edition, promptly issued an apology and clarified that their intention was to highlight the scale of the new arrivals, not to insult former players.
Luis Díaz transferred to Bayern Munich for €75 million, while Darwin Núñez joined Al-Hilal for €53 million. In response, Liverpool secured major reinforcements, signing Wirtz for £116 million and breaking a British transfer record by acquiring Isak for £125 million.
Why was Salah’s defense important now?
Because it reinforces the values of solidarity and gratitude, stressing that collective achievements always deserve respect, even when exciting new stars arrive.
