Steven Gerrard has reopened the debate over the way Mohamed Salah’s time at Liverpool came to an end, as the Egyptian star continues to enjoy a strong start with Turkish side Trabzonspor.

Gerrard believes Salah is still capable of performing at the highest level and feels that his impressive performances in Turkey show that he remains a major attacking threat. The former Liverpool captain also expressed disappointment over the way Salah’s final period at Anfield was handled.

Salah left Liverpool at the end of last season after spending nine years at Anfield, where he won several major trophies and achieved many individual and team honors before starting a new chapter in Turkey.

Gerrard Regrets Salah’s Exit

Gerrard spoke about how difficult it is for him to see Salah wearing another club’s shirt after the Egyptian became one of Liverpool’s biggest stars.

The Liverpool legend criticized the way the club dealt with Salah during the final stage of his time in England, believing that the Egyptian deserved a better ending after everything he had given to the team.

Gerrard was also impressed by Salah’s early performances with Trabzonspor, particularly his display against Genclerbirligi. Salah scored from the penalty spot as Trabzonspor secured a 5-0 victory.

According to Gerrard, Salah is still showing that he can make a major difference at the highest level.

Salah Boosts Trabzonspor’s Ambitions

Gerrard believes Salah could become a key figure in Trabzonspor’s challenge for the Turkish league title. His experience and ability to decide important matches could give the club an extra advantage.

Salah has made an impressive start to the league campaign, scoring four goals and moving into second place in the scoring charts behind Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, who has six.

Trabzonspor have collected nine points from their opening four league matches after recording three victories. They sit fourth in the table, three points behind leaders Galatasaray.

The strong start has increased optimism around Trabzonspor, particularly because Salah has quickly adapted to his new surroundings and started producing goals and dangerous attacking performances.

Between a new challenge in Turkey and the memories of nine successful years in England, Salah is now writing another chapter in his career. However, the debate surrounding his Liverpool exit looks likely to continue if he keeps delivering strong performances.
