Jürgen Klopp has described Mohamed Salah as “the biggest striker Liverpool have had in modern times”, saying he hopes his former employers will resolve their contract standoff with their talisman and extend his stay beyond this summer.
Salah is in the final six months of his £350,000-a-week Liverpool deal and, by his own admission, progress on agreeing new terms has been minimal. The 32-year-old played under Klopp for seven seasons, winning the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Klopp, speaking during his unveiling as Red Bull’s global head of soccer, made clear his preference about Salah’s next step.
