EPL: Klopp breaks silence on Salah leaving Liverpool

Former Liverpool manager, Jürgen Klopp, has said he hopes Mohamed Salah remains with the Premier League club.

Klopp went ahead to hail Salah as the best striker the Reds have had in modern times.

The Egyptian’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season.

In January, the 32-year-old claimed he was “far away” from a fresh deal being agreed.

Klopp left Anfield last summer with Salah’s future still up in the air and has since been replaced by Arne Slot.

When asked about Salah’s future, Klopp told reporters: “I hope he stays.

“[He’s] the biggest striker LFC had in the modern times. Obviously there were other really good strikers, but fantastic player, fantastic human being, outstanding athlete, best ambassador your country [Egypt] could have.

“Fantastic in all departments, so I hope he will stay at Liverpool.”

Klopp was in charge of Liverpool when Salah arrived from Roma in June 2017.

Salah then went on to score 44 goals in 52 games in all competitions in his first season on Merseyside.
