OpenKate Abdo has Jamie Carragher in stitches with contract negotiation dig amid Mohamed Salah ‘selfish’ furore

Kate Scott – formerly Abdo – teased Jamie Carragher about his Mohamed Salah contract take ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League clash.

The Egyptian winger gave a rare interview after Liverpool’s 3-2 win against Southampton, revealing he had not yet been offered a deal and was ‘more out than in’ in terms of staying beyond the end of the season when his contract ends.

Former Liverpool player Carragher then labelled his interview as ‘selfish’, sparking widespread debate across the fan base and the wider football world.

Carragher doubled down on his point on CBS Sports’ coverage of Liverpool‘s Champions League clash against Real Madrid on Wednesday night.

But after having his say, Scott couldn’t help but make a cheeky dig at her pundit.

She smiled: “Does anyone else remember James Carragher mentioning his contract renewal a few times?”

The former Reds star took the joke well and laughed.

Co-pundit Micah Richards also got involved, joking: “Yeah, it’s alright when it suits him!”

Scott and co are referring to when Carragher’s contract was also running down at Anfield in 2010.

He ended up staying at the club until 2013.

Fans quickly brought up his interview at the time about not being given him a deal yet and what he would do if the Reds didn’t offer him an extension.

In response to a fan on X accusing him of being hypocritical about Salah, he said: “Shut up you [clown emoji].

“Read the actual quotes in it. I was asked if the club don’t give me a contract what would I do.

“I certainly wouldn’t ever play games & try & turn a fan base against the club.

“Can’t believe how many people on here fall for this nonsense every year from players.”

Liverpool beat reigning Champions League champions Real Madrid 2-0 in the end.

Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo fired them to victory.

Los Blancos fluffed a perfect opportunity to equalise at 1-0 down after Kylian Mbappe missed a penalty awarded after Andy Robertson’s clumsy challenge.

Salah also missed a spot kick later on, firing his effort wide and off the post.

But the Egyptian’s error didn’t matter in the end as the Reds extended their lead at the top of the Champions League.
