Salah snubbed the Reds to join Chelsea last week in a deal believed to be worth £13.5m.
But his agent claims Liverpool only have themselves to blame for missing out on the ‘Egyptian Messi’.
“It was a long and fair negotiation with Liverpool, but it lasted two-and-a-half months - too long,” said Sascha Empacher.
Why Liverpool lost to Chelsea in battle for Egypt star Mohamed Salah “Both clubs could not agree on terms. When Chelsea contacted Basel, he was happy and took his chance. It was no financial matter.”
