Former Manchester City and Fiorentina star, Englishman Micah Richards, praised the skills of Liverpool star and Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, highlighting the benefit that "the Reds" gained from his signing, describing him as "the best player in his position in the world." Micah spoke about Salah's importance to Liverpool, stating, "His role isn't just about scoring goals; he provides crucial points for his team. Last season, Salah significantly helped his club secure 17 points. Here we can ask, what would happen to the team if he were absent?!" The British newspaper "Daily Mail" quoted Micah saying, "I played with Salah for six months at Fiorentina, and he always told me about his ambition to become a star at Liverpool. He was always following the Reds." He added, "Salah always took care of his fitness; he was keen on eating healthy food, doesn’t drink alcohol, and lives a quiet lifestyle." Micah continued, "I don’t compare Salah to Messi, but he does things on the field that rival what the Argentine star does." He pointed out that Salah has yet to receive the recognition he deserves in the football world, expressing, "He was undoubtedly a valuable signing for Liverpool, but he has not yet received his due; he rarely gives interviews, and perhaps his playing for the Egyptian national team in international matches makes him less followed by European and global audiences." Micah described Salah as "the best winger in the world, having outperformed the best forwards in European leagues." He concluded his remarks by saying, "Liverpool would not have a place in the Champions League without Salah, nor would they have won the Premier League title. Salah is the right player for big matches, and I hope the uncertainty surrounding his contract is resolved soon."
