Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed his hope that star forward, Mohamed Salah will continue his career with the Premier League club.
In an interview with reporters, Jurgen Klopp praised Salah, asserting that he is the best striker Liverpool have boasted in the modern era.
The manager’s sentiments come amidst uncertainty regarding Salah’s future, as his contract is set to expire at the end of the current season.
Earlier this year, Salah, 32, indicated that talks for a renewal of his contract were still far from conclusion. Klopp, who left his position at Liverpool last summer, departed with Salah’s status at the club still unresolved. Since Klopp’s exit, Arne Slot has taken over managerial duties.
When reporters brought up the topic of Salah’s future at Liverpool, Klopp remarked: “I hope he stays. He’s [the] biggest striker LFC has had in modern times. Of course, there have been other exceptional strikers in the club’s history, but Salah is a fantastic player, an incredible human being, and an outstanding athlete. He is truly the best ambassador for your country [Egypt] that one could hope for.”
Klopp further emphasized Salah’s exceptional contribution to the team, stating, “He excels in all aspects of the game, and I sincerely hope he will choose to remain with Liverpool.”
Klopp’s tenure at Liverpool saw Salah join the club from AS Roma in June 2017. Salah made an immediate impact, scoring a remarkable 44 goals in 52 appearances across all competitions during his debut season on Merseyside, solidifying his status as a key player for the team.
