Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp confirmed that his team needs patience in his talks with Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, regarding the renewal of his contract.
Klopp explained that Salah’s new contract is not something that can be decided “during the afternoon tea.”
Salah’s current contract expires in June 2023, and widespread speculation has been raised about the future of the Egyptian national team captain.
Salah expressed his desire to stay at Anfield, but he has not yet reached an agreement with his team, Liverpool.
It was reported that Salah told the “MBC Egypt” television station that his future “is in the hands of the Liverpool administration and that it must settle this issue.”
But Klopp confirmed today, Monday, that his club’s position has not changed, and he said during a press conference on the eve of Liverpool’s match against its Italian host AC Milan in the Champions League, we are fully aware of his position and we are holding talks.
He continued, “Extending the contract of a player like Mo Salah is not something that can be accomplished during a cup of tea in the afternoon and reach an agreement on it.”
“There is nothing else to say about Mo (Salah), he spoke about it when asked about it, I can only talk about a few things because the rest is not to be published, of course,” Klopp said.
He explained: I do not know if he conducted the interview in English or if it was translated from Arabic into English, and this is a big issue, as we have said in recent days.
He pointed out: A lot of things may happen when a person tries to accomplish the task. I’m not fine, I’m fine. I think that all of our desires are clear, and things like this need time.
