  • The fan account's post suggested Wirtz and Isak represented a "bigger upgrade" in footballing history.
  • Salah responded by defending Diaz and Nunez, stating that new signings should be celebrated without disrespecting "Premier League champions".
  • Following Salah's intervention, the fan account issued an apology, clarifying that no disrespect was intended.
