Roma have tweeted Mo Salah

His goal in Tuesday’s 2-1 victory against Manchester City was his 39th in all competitions this season - it’s been a campaign to remember for the 25-year-old.

And now he gets to return to his former club.

Roma sent a class message to Salah on Twitter after the draw, writing: “We’ll be opponents for 180 minutes, but whatever happens we’ll remain friends for life. Looking forward to seeing you again, @22mosalah! 👋”.

Salah responded: “100%”.

Liverpool fans love the tweet

Despite the fact that they will now battle it out for a place in the Champions League final, Roma have earned the respect of Liverpool supporters following their tweet to Salah.

These feelings could go out of the window when the first leg kicks off, though.

Playing in such an important fixture will only open the eyes of Europe’s big boys to Salah.

Imagine if he goes on to lead the Reds to their first Champions League trophy since 2005. Real Madrid and co. could all express an interest.

However, Klopp fully believes that the forward’s future lies at Anfield.

"I know that Mo feels very comfortable here, and he knows that our style of play suits him very well, so I am not worried about a transfer,” Klopp told Bild this week.
