MO SALAH’S agent appeared to scoff at Jurgen Klopp’s claims that Liverpool are doing ‘all they can’ to keep hold of the Egyptian.
Salah’s contract with the Reds expires in 2023 and the two parties are no closer to reaching a deal.
Klopp has stated that Liverpool have done all they can to keep hold of Salah
It’s been alleged that the winger is holding out for £500,000-a-week and the Reds aren’t willing to match his demands.
Talks between Salah and the Kop giants seemed to have cooled down with neither side backing down in the contract row.
But when discussing Salah’s Anfield future ahead of Liverpool‘s Premier League clash with Brighton, Klopp was adamant that the Reds have exhausted all options to keep hold of the forward.
And Klopp also revealed that the ball was now in Salah’s court to make a decision regarding his future – although the German is confident that the Reds’ prized asset will remain on Merseyside.
Klopp frankly said: “Mo definitely expects this club to be ambitious, we were in the last years and we are.
“Of course we cannot do much more, that’s how it is, I think meanwhile it is Mo’s decision, pretty much.
“I think the club did what the club can do. There’s nothing more to say about it from my point of view, it is exactly like it should be at the moment.
“Nothing happened further, so no signing, no rejection or whatever so we just have to wait for that, it’s completely fine, there’s no rush in this situation.”
But Klopp’s comments seemed to have riled Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas who tweeted out a series of crying emojis shortly after.
It’s not the first time Klopp and Abbas have clashed over the winger’s future.
When previously discussing Salah’s contract saga, Klopp inferred that Abbas’ meddling is the root of the player’s hesitancy to sign a new deal.
Spanish giants Real Madrid will be monitoring the latest developments in Salah’s situation closely.
Real are reportedly keen on bringing Salah – who’s scored 19 goals and provided 10 assists in the Premier League this season – to the Bernabeu.
Los Blancos envision Salah spearheading a new-look attack at the club along with Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe who Gary Neville claims have dethroned Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the kings of world football.
