What happened. Mohamed Salah joined Trabzonspor on a free transfer after leaving Liverpool, ending his nine-year stint in the Premier League.

• Carragher thought Salah might lower wage demands to join Milan or Juventus.
• He believed Salah was too good for Saudi and Turkey feels a level too low.
• Salah's wage demands put off some clubs, according to Carragher.

“I was convinced he’d end up at an AC Milan or Juventus or somewhere like that, maybe his wages were a problem.”
