Former Tottenham striker Mido, who now manages Egyptian Premier League side Wadi Degla, also believes his compatriot will thrive under Jurgen Klopp as the Reds and Roma continue to negotiate a deal.
Salah is high on Klopp’s list of targets this summer, as the German looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season.
Liverpool had a £28m bid rejected by the Serie A club earlier this month, with Roma understood to be looking to demand closer to £40m for one of their prized assets.
And though talks so far have yet to reach a compromise, Liverpool remain keen on bringing the 24-year-old to Merseyside.
