Neymar Leaving Barca Proves That LFC Can Lose Mane And Salah – John Barnes

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane can both leave Liverpool if they are shown big-money offers, John Barnes has said.

Barnes recently revealed that clubs must be prepared for anything because every club is a selling club in modern football.

According to John, if Barcelona can be forced to sell Neymar, then Liverpool must know that what attracts footballers nowadays is the salaries that they are going to get while playing.

He added that Salah and Mane leaving would not be disastrous because Liverpool has seen the exit of several great players like Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez, Philippe Coutinho.

His words, “Every club is a selling club in modern football. A club like Barcelona was forced to sell Neymar.

“What attracts footballers today is the salaries that they are going to get. Whoever the player may be, whether it be Sadio Mane or Mo Salah, if anyone is offered a million pounds per week by any club, then they will join that team regardless of their quality or standing, that is the reality of modern football.

“We have had so many fantastic players leave the Liverpool – Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez, Philippe Coutinho. It is great that Liverpool have a bit of muscle now because of the on-field success, but ultimately players come and players go.

“I always tell the fans to support the club and not the players. A player must not be compelled to stay at a club against his own will, because that will make the player feel more powerful than the club and hence it will make him less accountable for his performances on the pitch.

“The good thing is that I can guarantee that such a situation will not arise under Klopp because of the control he has over the players and the club. Players know they cannot overstep their mark with him in charge.”
