Liverpool manager Klopp Gives open up On Salah’s Future at Anfield

Jurgen Klopp has spoken about the future of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool despite speculation over the Egyptian stay at Anfield.

Giving an interview with Spanish newspaper AS in December, Salah described Real Madrid and Barcelona as ‘two top clubs’ and added ‘who knows what will happen in the future.’

And the Reds’ boss, speaking ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Sheffield United on Sunday evening, believes Salah will be part of the club for the long-term.

He said: “It’s just a bit awkward when I have to praise my own players, which I like to do, to be honest, but especially in Mo’s case, the numbers speak for themselves.  

“Mo is not only a goalscorer, he has developed as a footballer as well.

“He is a very, very important player for us and hopefully, he will be that for a very long time of course.”

Liverpool’s title defence has fallen apart in recent weeks and they sit sixth in the Premier League, five points off the top four, ahead of their visit to Bramall Lane.
