Bent Advises Mohamed Salah to stay at Liverpool

Former Sunderland striker Darren Bent has urged Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah to stay at Anfield instead of joining Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Bent believes Liverpool are currently in a better position than both Spanish heavyweights.

Mohamed Salah's contract situation with the Reds has been a major talking point in recent weeks. The Egyptian's current deal with Liverpool is set to run out in the summer of 2023

"Do you know what he (Mohamed Salah) has on his side as well? There aren’t too many places he can go. You look at Barcelona or Real Madrid; neither of them are in any sort of financial state," Bent said.

The 37-year-old pointed out that Real Madrid look set to build their future team around Kylian Mbappe.

"I know they (Real Madrid) bid something crazy for Kylian Mbappe, but that looks like who they are set on getting. They are in a rebuild."

Bent also added that neither Los Blancos nor the Blaugrana are bigger than Liverpool at this point in time.

"Not now they’re not, Liverpool are massive. Where would you rather go right now?"
