Jurgen Klopp has revealed his delight at seeing Mohamed Salah sign a new three-year contract at Anfield, insisting it wouldn't be possible to sign a player of his calibre if he wasn't currently at Liverpool.
The Egyptian, 30, finally ended the relentless speculation surrounding his future late last week when he unexpectedly penned a new, heavily incentivised, three-year contract on Merseyside. Salah's future has been a constant topic of discussion at Anfield ever since he first broke his silence about his future while speaking to Spanish publications in December 2020.
However, Liverpool, led by new sporting director Julian Ward, managed to broker a deal with Salah's advisor Ramy Abbas last week before a handful of club delegates flew over to the Greek island of Mykonos, where the striker was enjoying the remaining weeks of his summer, to wrap up a deal.
