29 March 2018 .









Roma sporting director Monchi conceded that Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah had been sold on the cheap to Liverpool for 40 million euros ( $49 million) before “ the Neymar effect ” transformed the market.




“ To understand this sale you have to understand two things. Firstly , it was made before the Neymar effect which revolutionised the transfer market, ” Monchi said during a meeting with the foreign press in Rome on Wednesday .
Brazilian striker Neymar ’ s world record 222 million euro move from Barcelona to Paris Saint -Germain last August started a chain reaction .




French forward Ousmane Dembele subsequently moved from Borussia Dortmund to Barcelona in a deal worth 145 million euros, with Brazilian Philippe Coutinho moving to Barcelona from Liverpool for 160 million euros in January.





“ We also had to sell him ( Salah ) before June 30 ( because of Financial Fair Play constraints) , ” Monchi continued . “ Those who know a little about business know that it’ s like having the Sword of Damocles over your head . ”





“ So if we take these two elements into account I think that we made a correct sale .
“ Now he ’ s had a incredible season and with the effect of Neymar, Coutinho , Dembele , his value is without a doubt much more, ” added the former Sevilla sporting director.




Salah , 25, is the top scorer in the English Premier League with 28 goals l 30 matches. In total he has scored 36 in all competitions during his first season at Liverpool.
“ He ’ s very strong , ” continued Monchi . “ But it’ s amazing because he ’ s returned to a league where he wasn ’ t successful when he was at Chelsea .




“ He found a coach , teammates who trust him , a team that suits him well , which corresponds to his style of play . ”
