"My favourite Argentine player apart from Mac Allister? Messi. I love Messi. He is... Messi is Messi, I love Messi," Mohamed Salah says.
"I love Batistuta as well, I met him once in Argentina, got his t-shirt signed, but yeah I love Messi," the Egyptian added.
When a player stutters in admiration while trying to describe the qualities of another, you can almost guess he's a true fan.
Salah is easily the best right-winger in the Premier League with consistent performances for the past four seasons. His influence at Liverpool cannot be understated but like millions of fans around the world, he adores the Barcelona legend.
Perhaps Barcelona could've signed Salah to replace Messi as he could've been open to following in the footsteps of his idol. But all the rumours last year were nothing but a puff of smoke with Barca struggling to meet Financial Fair Play and Liverpool clinging tightly to their best player.
