Jurgen Klopp says Mohamed Salah wants to stay and contract talks are progressing

Jurgen Klopp says he knows Mohamed Salah wants to stay at Liverpool, insisting contract negotiations with the Egyptian are in a good place.

Salah said in an interview published by GQ this week that he is "not asking for crazy stuff" in contract talks, as he reiterated that it is up to Liverpool to decide his future.

The forward, whose contract at Anfield runs out in the summer of 2023, has stated he wants to stay at Liverpool but the two parties are yet to come to an agreement over a new deal.

If Salah is allowed to walk away, WE RIOT 🔥 ..

[siddharthadas]

6 months from now we will be seeing 5 major moments that led Salah to leave Liverpol from skysports.

[gerardhipwell]

He’s going to Aston Villa to team up with Coutinho And Stevie G !!! 🙃😋

It feels like a sliding door moment for Liverpool if they refuse to pay salah a player who has been performing at ridiculous levels for them for the past 5 years then it will send out a message to other players that such wages do not exist at Liverpool no matter how good you are. I know the amounts mentioned seem obscene but football has moved on the absolute superstar players are being paid 350 to 400 grand a week at the moment. Salah has every right to demand such wages Fsg need to pay up or shut up they can't be clever about this.

[Amzyy]

Anthony Martial is getting paid more than him right now 😂😂 Salah is one of the best in world football now just pay the man or else he’ll go to another top club who will appreciate him and pay him what he deserves

[jackacook]

As much as i'd love Salah to leave because i'm a United fan you'd be daft not to offer him the world to stay, Top 3 player in the world right now, i can't let my rival bias ignore how special a player he is, very jealous.

[renzelkhamacho]

The FSG are a bunch of cheap skates, they've been underpaying their players for too long and expecting them to stay happy in the name of "loving the club" I'm sorry but that's not enough, in any profession the best in their fields earn the best wages, but when it's football you'll hear people use the word "mercenary" I just don't get it! Mo Salah deserves whatever he wants, it's funny how some fans would praise him for being "the best player in the world" yet when he asks for a salary that reflects that title they turn around and say "play for the love of the club, don't be a mercenary" WHAT!? Hypocrisy at its finest!

[ELSAMA]

I've the feeling Liverpool will leave Salah to walk alone. 😐

[AlexLee]

Fsg pay their Boston Red Sox pitcher $30 mil a year so I don’t get why they’re so stingy when it comes to Liverpool player’s wages, especially when it’s someone like salah. Top 3 played in the world right now

[kengriffin]

Liverpool owners will sell him than give the best player in form right now, what he wants . If this goes bad, I know klopp will be pissed and could walk out in 2 seasons, especially since his squad is ageing

[qualityman]

How much money is enough? He will choose to stay if the money is decent.

[fistingendakenny]

Give him whatever he wants! He's earned it

[murcielago-vikingo]

Just sign his contract and get on with it!!!
Why makes it the Lord of the Rings extended version for God’s Sake.

[naimfarhan]

I blame city chelsea and man utd because they overpay their player... Rashford, Grealish, lukaku all have 100m wages.. To much money

[Thegdee]

Klipperty is desperate for Salar Lar Lar to stay as he has built his team around him and they would really be a pile of steaming without him...

[craigsimons]

Salah is leaving, it is painfully obvious.
If he was staying he would have signed by now.

[juliantsenkov]

I hope Salah will sign a new contract asap.

[MattMajcan]

He's gone then. Coming out in the press talking nice about Salah means they cant afford his demands and are hoping to convince him to sign for less. It didn't work with Wijnaldum and i doubt it works with Salah.

[GalaxybearBoss]

No way Liverpool is dumb enough to let him go

[lordyrich]

He likes the Liverpool fans but cleary wants an upgrade
