Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has spoken out on the speculation surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future at Anfield.
Salah has been nothing short of sensational since his €42 million (£38m/$51m) move to Anfield from Roma in the summer of 2017.
Former Egypt midfielder Mohamed Aboutrika caused a stir earlier this week when he suggested that the English champions are considering selling Salah amid reported interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Goal reports that Liverpool are certain to offer a prized asset the chance to extend his current contract beyond 2023, but he seemed to leave the door open to a transfer during a recent interview with Spanish publication AS.
Ahead of the Reds’ home fixture against West Brom on Sunday, Klopp was asked to comment on Salah’s situation, and he moved to quash ongoing rumours once and for all.
“We never speak about deals, why should we start now?” the Liverpool manager told a pre-match press conference. “Mo is in a good mood, a good moment, really good shape so that is the most important thing.
“You would have seen him laughing a lot in training, he enjoyed the session.
“All the rest is nice for all of you to write about but internally, no.”
