Jurgen Klopp is satisfied with Mohamed Salah’s contract situation as talks continue between the Egyptian and Liverpool.
Salah’s current deal at Anfield runs out in the summer of 2023, meaning the forward is out of contract in less than 18 months. Reports recently suggested that he was close to agreeing a new one that would keep him at Liverpool for the rest of his career.
Klopp did not comment on those rumours, though insisted he is not worried about the fact no agreement has yet been reached.
“I’m happy with it because there’s nothing new to say,” Klopp said ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League clash against Benfica.
“It is good. The decisive parties are talking to each other and that’s all I need.”
While Salah has been in impressive form for his club this season, he’s had a painful time of things at international level with Egypt.
The 29-year-old and his country were beaten by Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations final earlier this year, before Sadio Mane’s team also beat them in a World Cup play-off which means Salah will not be in Qatar later this year.
Salah has 28 Liverpool goals to his name this season and with Liverpool still fighting in three competitions, he looks set to significantly add to that tally.
