I love Mo. I love his talent. I love his effort. I love his skill. But most of all I love the shirt he wears. Without that, I could not care less.

[ivrishcon-abarth]

Since the Salah contract -negotiations started & seemingly got troubled, I´ve been saying the problem is probably the agent. Mo says time and time again he wants to stay with Liverpool, he´s "not asking anything crazy", he´s happy here, the fans love him and the team is exactly perfect for him and his skills. MAYBE his agent can get him, say £ 400 000/week in a worse club and a hefty Agent Fee for a transfer vs. Mo being where he´s happy and loved, absolute legend getting "only" £ 300 000/week; WITHOUT agent´s cut of transfer fee... It´d be sad to lose Mo, but We Are Liverpool. Sir Kenny isn´t playing anymore and we´re doing fine.

Am I the only one WAY more worried about the fact Klopp's contract is up in 2 years?

[stevenhaas]

Mo is playing the good cop (" I want to stay, it's in the club's hands") and his douchnozzle agent is playing the bad cop. Walking a tight rope, his agent's action risks poisoning the well with the fans

I love Salah And i don't want him to go but at the end of the day if he goes then he goes.. it'll be a shame but we are not a 1 man club anymore. The same worry was there when Phil left and we were probably better off with out him in the end.. there's a greed upfront at Liverpool that means sometimes the pass to a better opportunity to score is lost. I think some of that will leave with Salah when he goes..

[yt.personal.identification]

Next time Klopp is asked, he should respond by sending the reporter to Salah's agent, as he is the one that wants the attention on this subject.

Switch the pressure.

I think Salah will leave. The question for me is do we sell him this summer, or let him leave on a free in 2023? If I was LFC I would give him a deadline to sign the contract by e.g. June 1st
If Salah doesn't sign then we put him up for sale right at the start of the transfer window so we at least get some money for him. Letting him leave on a free would hurt.

[paulharris]

I think Abbas massively dropped the ball on this one. Salah needs us more than we need him. If it messes with FSG’s pay structure than goodbye Mo. Klopp and FSG will not sacrifice squad harmony for one player even if it is Mo.

[willh]

Klopp is the main man at LFC today. Just as Shankly was before and Paisley and Dalglish at various different points in time.

Every player lucky enough to wear that shirt should always remember this.

By the way I love Mo. Hope he stays. But if he moves on I wish him well and we move on. Up the Reds!

[jacobgeorge]

Let Salah go if his heart is not with the club anymore. Nobody is bigger than the club.

[yoditan]

Completely agree that Salah's agent is childish. His agent is a grown adult representing another grown adult, it's also disrespectful towards the club. Mo doesn't strike me as that kind of person to act like that. Mo deserves more money but we can't break wage structure because that can have an effect on the other players. But I think it's starting to affect his performances a bit. But I also wouldn't get too worried until may.

[peterl]

Sorry mates but where is the insight exactly? Neil knows as little as any of us it seems. Is there any info to share? Can we get some clarity on how much Salah is being offered for example? If it actually is 250 K as some report I have to agree it's almost insulting. LFC should be able to do at least 300-350 K, and it doesn't need to break the wage structure. Just make it clear that the next player who wants to make that kind of money needs to win three Golden Boots ad break the PL goal scoring record. And if they do they will be most entitled to it! Businesswise it probably also makes sense Salah is arguably the Premier League's biggest global icon after Ronaldo. LFC should be making millions in shirt sales from him.

[ahmedmahdy]

We in Egypt and all of us love MO but we hate this Ramy

[mahatmastriker]

I cannot imagine Salah´s heart wants to leave LFC

[saidmawlud]

I love Salah more than any other LFC player, but I think he should do something about his agent behavior, Salah's agent is childish rude unprofessional

[gravyboat]

I would be more concerned if this was Virgil

[moons]

If he leaves, it will end up just like Torres and Cautinho. Regretting the move.

[imBonzarrr]

Hate to say it, but if we win PL and or CL its not hard to see us selling Salah… circle of life

[akulinamackenzie]

why doesn’t salah decide about his own life and career and say “bye" to his agent ?
it’s HIS life, and he should be a free man, not a slave of a

[noseyparker]

The problem i forsee with the Salah situation is the potential to create not only unrest in the squad but also in the fanbase.

The clubs itself, Klopp and the fans unity has prided itself on the fact that there are no prima doners in this club whereas Salas demands might come across as that in the long run...I really feel that the situation needs to be sorted sooner rather than later ....especially with the potential season we might be having?


Thing is if wants what LFC wont give? just both parties need to get agreed either way and move on...THIS IS LFC so no need for the dramas we are bigger than that!!..
