Liverpool FC position as Man City's closest rivals is facing a serious problem
- 2 anni fa
Manchester City's biggest advantage in recent years has been keeping the team together, but Jurgen Klopp's side are already facing major problems

Liverpool are currently the only team in the Premier League that can play alongside Manchester City. The closeness of this rivalry seems to suggest they could be the British version of the Barcelona and Real Madrid of the 20s - two heavyweights vying for domestic and European honours, while the rest are on the fringes.
But Jurgen Klopp's words about Mohamed Salah on Friday must worry Merseyside fans and remind them of one area where the Blues have been superior to Liverpool over the past eight years. Klopp appeared to suggest that Salah will hold off on signing a new deal until he sees evidence the Merseysiders share his ambitions - in other words, he wants them to enter the big-name market.
"Don't want this club to be ambitious," the Liverpool boss said. There is not much we can do. This is Mo's decision. From my point of view, everything is fine. Nothing else happens, no signature or rejection. We just have to wait and don't rush. "

City have expressed the kind of ambition Salah wants to see, having signed Jack Grealish last summer in an attempt to sign Harry Kane and are now leading the hunt for Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland . City should only get stronger over the next few years as they remain competitive in the market but also see their fairly young squad mature and get closer - and Salah knows that.
More importantly, City will ensure they remain competitive for the foreseeable future by signing long-term contracts with their best players. They have all signed Ederson, John Stones, Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte, Joao Cancelo, Kevin for at least the next three years De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Cole Palmer and Jack Grealish, and are working on adding Phil Foden to the list.
In stark contrast, Liverpool legends top three Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are on the verge of expiring contracts. The myths of English football lead you to believe that clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United are more attractive than upstart teams like Manchester City, whose only attraction is the size of their salaries.

This has never been the case, even in the early post-acquisition period when the Blues offered top players like Carlos Tevez big salaries. But they were also selling a vision at the time - Joleon
