Mo Salah hints at Liverpool stay and pays tribute to Klopp.

By Lehlohonolo Lehana.

Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah has hinted he will still be a Liverpool player next season while paying tribute to departed manager Jurgen Klopp. 

Salah is one of several key figures in the squad who are up for contract renewal this summer, with the Egyptian forward, club captain Virgil van Dijk and vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold all having one year left on their present deals.

There has been speculation that clubs in Saudi Arabia would make another bid for the forward this summer, following a failed move last September.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Karim Benzema and Riyad Mahrez are among the high-profile players who have moved to Saudi Arabia in the past 18 months.

Salah scored 25 goals in 44 games in all competitions this season but the only silverware the Anfield side picked up in Jurgen Klopp’s final campaign in charge was the League Cup.

“We know that trophies are what count and we will do everything possible to make that happen next season,” Salah posted on X.

“Our fans deserve it and we will fight like hell.”

Salah also posted a message of thanks to Klopp, who guided the Reds to the Champions League and Club World Cup in 2019 and the Premier League title in 2019-20.

“It was great sharing all those trophies and experiences with you over the past seven years,” Salah said.

“I wish you the best of luck for the future and hope we meet again.”

Salah had a public falling-out with Klopp while preparing to come on as a substitute during their draw at West Ham last month, but the German said the argument  was “completely resolved” at the start of May.

Liverpool finished third in the Premier League this season, nine points behind champions Manchester City, and Salah’s tally of 18 league goals was his lowest since joining from Roma in 2017.
