Mohamed Salah has already sent Mason Mount the perfect Liverpool transfer message
Over the past 20 years, many players from Liverpool and Chelsea have worn both red and blue jerseys during their careers, despite the fierce rivalry that has developed between the two clubs since Chelsea emerged as a top team in the Premier League.
It’s difficult to say exactly when the rivalry began, but it was likely fueled by intense matches against José Mourinho’s teams in the early 2000s.
However, the tension was further exacerbated by Fernando Torres’ transfer to Chelsea at the beginning of the 2010s, which not only devastated Liverpool fans worldwide but also brought negative attention to his name and Chelsea’s reputation.
Adding to the tension between the two clubs, Chelsea’s decision to purchase Raul Meireles just six months after signing Yossi Benayoun from Liverpool the previous year, making it a total of three Liverpool signings within a year, only added fuel to the fire.
However, in hindsight, Liverpool has had the last laugh. All three players struggled to perform at Chelsea and failed to replicate their previous successes at Liverpool.
Conversely, Liverpool has been successful in signing former Chelsea players who were not able to excel at Stamford Bridge.
It started with Glen Johnson, who became a key player on Liverpool’s right flank for several years, and continued with the notable acquisition of Daniel Sturridge from Chelsea, who was able to shine at Anfield in a way he never did while playing for the Blues.
One could argue that Mohamed Salah has made the biggest impact after being let go by Chelsea. His success now serves as a clear message to Mason Mount, who is rumored to be considering a move to Liverpool (as first reported by The Guardian).
Salah’s success story after leaving Chelsea and joining Liverpool is evidence that there are greater opportunities to be found on Merseyside than in London.
Like Salah, Mount has not received the recognition he deserves at Chelsea, despite being given more regular playing time than Salah during his time with the Blues.
Liverpool could offer Mount financial incentives and much more, such as the opportunity to work with Jürgen Klopp, play at the legendary Anfield stadium, and be a vital part of the club’s rebuilding process during a period of change.
Mount is a talented player, still young at the age of 24, which is just one year younger than Salah was when he moved to Liverpool.
If Mount needs any motivation to make a similar move, he need only look at the trophies that Salah has won since leaving Chelsea.
It is clear that former Chelsea players often thrive at Liverpool, and Mount could be the next one to do so after Salah.
