He revealed that Trent had spoken to him about the mental toll of spending two decades at one club. “People do not know about it much,” Salah said, adding, “but he is 20 years in the club. It is the place you love, yes. But going every day to the same place, mentally, you could be depressed.”
Salah didn’t shy away from praising the 26-year-old’s decision to embrace a new challenge, calling him “probably the best home-grown player in the club’s history.”
