Jurgen Klopp responds to Mohamed Salah Liverpool transfer speculation after rumours of dispute

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has dismissed suggestions of a fall-out with Mohamed Salah.

Reports in Spanish news outlet AS earlier this month claimed Salah, a rumoured summer target for Real Madrid, is no longer happy working at Anfield under Klopp and wants to quit in the summer.

The story was then repeated by Telefoot of France earlier this week.

Salah's agent Ramy Abbas Issa responded to the initial claim by tweeting: "Talking out of their AS again I see."

And Klopp has now given his verdict on the speculation while also addressing rumours of Roberto Firmino's fitness after Friday's 5-0 Premier League win over Huddersfield Town at Anfield.

“I always tell you don’t believe 3% of what you hear on social media,” said the Liverpool boss to the BBC.

“I had no argument with Mo especially after the Chelsea game and Roberto Firmino is not out for the season.

“It’s kind of a small tear, and we will see. It’s Bobby Firmino so I would say he’ll be ready for Barcelona (in the Champions League semi-final at Camp Nou on Wednesday).

“It’s not 100%, it’s not too far away, but it’s Bobby Firmino and he’s a machine so we will see.

“We will take no risks, and it’s good we showed it can work without him.”
