Liverpool fans are convinced Dejan Lovren is befriending Mohamed Salah to avoid being sold this summer.

It’s an age-old cliché amongst football fans – keep player B so player A stays happy. Liverpool fans suspect Lovren knows about this too, as the Croatian defender seems to have become best friends with Mohamed Salah.

The pair have been spotted in multiple social media videos around the club’s training ground, even to the point where the defender was waiting for Salah at his car on Wednesday morning.

Salah has been in red-hot form since joining the reds, and currently tops the Premier League scoring charts with 28 goals. The Egyptian put the icing on the cake of his incredible season against Watford, grabbing four goals in a 5-0 win.

Lovren on the other hand did not have quite the same impact as Salah. Every time the 28 year-old seems to be finding a bit of form, he puts in a shocking performance and reminds fans of his nightmarish first season at Anfield.

Fans have often called for the Croatian to be sold this summer, with plenty hopeful the reds will sign a young defender to grow alongside Virgil van Dijk.

It appears Lovren is one step ahead of the game though, as fans are now joking on Twitter that the Reds will keep the defender to keep Salah happy.
