Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan can see Mohamed Salah leaving Liverpool.

The Egypt striker continues to be linked with a summer move to the Saudi Pro League.

"You question whether you would have had this (speculation over Salah's future) if Klopp was going to be there in perpetuity," Jordan told talkSPORT.

"I know this is controversial and people are going to tell me what a clown I am and I should ride around in a clown car, but I'm not a fan of Mo Salah.

"I don't think he's as good as people make him out to be. I think he dives, I think he can be a fair weather player.

"I know this will sound ridiculous to people and will make me incredibly unpopular by saying it, obviously he's scored lots of goals, but when the going gets tough some people stand up and fight and some people don't.

"I get this feeling that Salah can be one of those. It's an opinion.

"Unless Liverpool are going to get him to sign a new contract, which has to be a prerequisite of him staying, then they are potentially handing over a lot of money," he added.

"People don't run their club that way. If you look at the way Liverpool have spent in the last half a decade, they have spent 500million. Manchester City and Arsenal have spent nearly 800million.

"Liverpool tend to do it on the basis of how much they can get in. I don't see a situation where Salah walks out the door in a year's time. I don't see Salah signing a new long-term contract either."
