Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confessed that he does not believe Mohamed Salah will be leaving Anfield anytime soon.
Salah is approaching the final 18 months of his current deal and talks over an extension have been dragging on for a little while now, although he recently did his best to alleviate fears by admitting he wants to retire at Liverpool.
On Sunday, Salah took his tally for the season to 15 goals in just 12 appearances in all competitions as he fired home a memorable hat-trick in the 5-0 mauling of Manchester United, after which Klopp took the opportunity to discuss the Egyptian's future.
“Mo was there to get the goals and he deals with the fuss that everyone makes around him,” Klopp said (via The Times). “He enjoys his football and long, long, long may it continue. I knew already [he wants to end his career here]. I know the situation.”
90min understands that Salah is seeking a wage which would make him one of the Premier League's highest earners, with the Egyptian believing his current form and consistency is worthy of such a salary - a claim which is hard to argue with these days.
